    "content": "Hon. Temporary Speaker, everybody knows that you may be holding your title today and another person will also have almost a similar copy. A time comes when you realise that the title you are holding has someone else who is claiming ownership over it. That is why as a country, we have been suffering because of corruption. Today, in this Kenya Kwanza Government, our President has said that he will not condone any corruption. As Members of Parliament, we must speak, stand up for these innocent Kenyans and fight for justice to happen. We must also call out cartels, that is, people who are behind this matter. Even if I do not know a lot about this land and what is happening around there, I am sure there are faces behind this corruption. There are faces behind this chaos. Innocent Kenyans are sleeping out. Imagine the season we are in. It is raining and people are suffering. Children are supposed to sit for their examinations. I am sure expectant mothers do not have a place to lay their heads. That is why as leaders, we should condemn what happened and stand up for the innocent Kenyans, so that justice can be found. Those who are behind this land issue at the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development and corrupt leaders who are there must be called out so that we can know the cause of the problem. When something happens, people blame the Government. Why should the Kenya Kwanza Government be blamed today when this has been going on for over 10 years? We should know the root cause and what happened at that particular time for this to happen today. Even if we say that it has happened in the presence of the Kenya Kwanza Government, the root cause of this problem must be known. That is why we are calling upon all the people who are concerned to bring out the individuals behind this for it to be known to others that it is not the Government’s fault, but cartels are putting them in this situation. Hon. Temporary Speaker, it is my prayer that one time, all the cartels in this country, because they are not only there in land matters, but everywhere… The other day, we were talking about pyramid schemes and everybody was crying. Kenyans are losing their money. They are suffering because of cartels who are trying to steal from them and frustrating their efforts. I stand with the people and pray that we will soon bring out the cartels and corrupt leaders in this land issue."
