    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this time to second this Motion. I thank my able Chair for such eloquence and specificity in moving the Motion. We interrogated about five corporations. Some had very voluminous documentation, but we went through all of them. Allow me not to go into the specifics because my Chair has really mentioned many of them. I want to highlight some things that bedevil those corporations. We invest in State corporations in order to get the good out of them to plough back for social good for Kenyans. It appears that some are not doing well. It is because of the reasons that we are unearthing, so that they can be looked into and corrected. One of them which came out very clearly from my Chair is the issue of land. Many chunks of land in prime areas have no documentation or title deeds. People encroach into those parcels of land, which attracts litigation. As you know, litigation also attracts expenditures, which eats into the same coffers which we are trying to get out of this corporation to invest somewhere else. Also, those parcels of land were under-valued in some circumstances. Sometimes, they have no value. They are just there in the books.
