    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I sincerely would like to reiterate and support what hon. Mungatana and Sen. Beatrice have said. Madam Cabinet Secretary, I will give you an example of the problem we have. There are individuals in Uasin Gishu County who provided their land about eight years ago so that the Expressway could be done on the southern part of Eldoret Town. This was a group of about 12 individuals. The road is there and in use. The national Government ended up paying two out of those 12 people. My suspicion is that someone must have given something small for that to happen. We are persuading our leader, the Cabinet Secretary for Lands, Public Works, Housing and Urban Development, to give us an audit because she has been in the National Assembly where we were. How many pieces of land are controversial and have had issues between the NLC and owners or the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) or Kenya Railways Corporation (KRC) or any other Government departments. If the NLC is not able to come and give us the lists, they could have given you the list and told you which ones are controversial. The feeling we have is that you are moving away from your very critical responsibility. The buck stops with you. Therefore, for you to tell us that the NLC has not given you the numbers, names and figures and that you have nothing to do with it, given The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
