    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the answer I have received is very unsatisfactory. I know that the Minister is new in that Ministry, but the root cause of the problem in that area started 43 years ago. It is mainly corruption on the part of the lands officers. In the areas that I have mentioned, Akirang’ondu and Amwathi 2, the lands officers own the land there. They never bought the land. They snatched it from the people! It is not only the lands officers at the adjudication section but even officers at the Ministry Headquarters in Nairobi are involved! Today, my people come here in delegations because they have land complaints that have not been settled. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I asked the Minister how many parcels of land were demarcated in Akirang’ondu. He did not have the figures. But the objections are 5,300 out of 6,000 plots which were surveyed. That was 43 years ago! That shows clearly that the problem is in the Ministry. I would say that since this is a problem that is afflicting all Kenyans, I am asking for your intervention, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. You can have a House Committee to look into those issues because now, we can never trust the lands officers in that matter."
