    "content": " Thank you, Mr Speaker. My apologies. My name is Gathoni Wamuchomba. I just needed to clarify that. I rise to support this very detailed Report from the Public Investments Committee on Social Services, Administration and Agriculture. I must confess that the Committee has done quite a commendable job. Matters of land are very complicated. Auditing land in the hands of State corporations and authorities, sometimes, becomes complicated because the accounting officers have a lot of bureaucracy in getting the right and relevant documents that are supposed to be used during the audit. Auditing land that pertains to universities like Kenyatta University, the land that was used to settle KUTRRH, is something that gives me excitement because I am not only an interested party in the land, but I am a neighbour too. As you may all know, sometimes, when a neighbour's compound has issues, you also have issues. Hon. Temporary Speaker, allow me to congratulate the Committee because they have outlined issues that have been a pain to communities that use that land for a long time. How I wish that, that kind of in-depth audit could also happen to the pieces of lands that are now being used for special economic zones. This is because the issues that I have seen from this Report sound similar to issues we are hearing from communities that are now getting accommodated within the special economic zones. I hope that the Committee has the mandate to also do an audit on the many parcels of land that we are handing over under that kind of programme.
