"content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. The issue by Sen. Okiya Omtatah about compensation is very serious. It is only today when it has come into public domain that Prof. PLO Lumumba has sued Hon. Nixon Korir, the Principal Secretary in charge of the State Department for Lands and Physical Planning because they embezzled money belonging to 184 families. That money was meant for compensation for areas where the standard gauge rail line passed through. The people responsible are Hon. Nixon Korir and some other senior officers at the Ministry of Lands, Public Works, Housing and Urban Development. As Parliament, we must wake up to these things. Prof. PLO Lumumba should not be doing our work. By now, we should have removed Hon. Nixon Korir from office to pave way for comprehensive investigations. How do you investigate the Principal Secretary when he is in control of all the data that the courts will require to nail him? I demand that Hon. Nixon Korir steps down as a Principal Secretary and awaits the outcome of the investigations."
