    "content": "In 2014, the then Governor, Mr Mutua, wrote to the DCI and asked him to investigate what was happening with the Mavoko land, but the DCI did nothing. In fact, I am surprised that they are now calling people left and right to come and record statements and are accusing people, who are very innocent, of having sold the land. What did the DCI do at that point? If they intervened at that point, the situation we are seeing in Mavoko would not be happening. They should have stopped the land division in that area. Who approved the housing plans? Is it the Ministry? Is it the county government? Who approved the division of the land despite complaints by the former Governor, Hon. Mutua? Those are the questions we need to ask ourselves. Instead of looking for a few small people, we need to get the big people. I sympathise with my colleague, Hon. Makau, on being accused. How does a Member sell land? You demolish people’s houses and then tomorrow you tell them you are selling the same land and will give them the first priority. Who does that? The Government should have negotiated with the people who had already put up houses."
