    "content": "CS is not in at the moment, but I just pray that Hon. Alice Wahome is confirmed, so that I can see her on the other side and raise with her the complaints that I am talking about. Today, this issue was in the list of the Questions that she was to answer. I was ready to come here early in the morning to wait for the CS or whoever was coming; to ask them those questions. I wanted to ask whether it is normal to have somebody who has a legit title deed, a lease of 50 years and then a county governor can go there and forcefully evict those investors with a lot of impunity. They incurred many losses, many lives were lost and then she immediately shut down that institution, which is the War Memorial Hospital. The other one that we are talking about is the farm. The other one is corporate land at Pipeline. So I really wanted to face the CS, so that I can get these questions answered. I may not be a lawyer, but I know with the little knowledge I have, even if we are not lawyers, we are not so stupid. We have seen Sen. Omtatah not being a lawyer, but practicing to be a lawyer. So even us, having gone through what we have experienced, we have built our careers. We also know about legal matters that you cannot misuse power and treat people with such impunity and then assume that everything is normal. Today, I was very excited. If the CS was here, I am sure that maybe I could have gotten the answers to what I am talking about now and I could be happy going home to my people of Nakuru. I would have told them: What you see is not how it is supposed to be and the CS has said that it is misuse of power and impunity and she is going to give directions on how the things that we have seen happening in Nakuru will not happen again. So that is why I have said let me relook at the Bill. I know I have gone through it, but I still need to go through it again. I think that we are going to give more powers to the county government. They can take this land and do whatever they want with it. I am an investor, so I can invest in this by applying for a public land. I might be given 50 years lease but after two or three years of putting up a manufacturing plant, I am informed that I need to move out. We should condemn such impunity and misuse of power as highly as possible. If such things continue, then our investors will have no confidence in this country. I thank you."
