    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I will be very brief. I want to thank Hon. Wamboka and the entire Committee that came up with this Report. I listened to the debate on State corporations. If we are not careful, this country will go to the drain. I say so because the Report has revealed very worrying trends in our higher education institutions. One case in point is Kenyatta University. The Report tells us that an area has been occupied by people who got into the institution’s compound and decided to put up highrise buildings. That is worrying because that happened in full glare of the institution’s management. When the Report was being presented by the mover – who is in the House – it was very clear that public resources are going to waste. The committee visited the institution and it was told that a Ksh600 million building was constructed. When the Committee asked where the building was, it was told that the building was just somewhere. Hon. Temporary Speaker, if this is how public resources are being used, then it is very worrying to the country. The trend is extremely worrying. I want to urge this Committee in particular that as it tables this Report before the House, let it be very clear that after tabling it we go even deeper to ensure that those who are culpable of misappropriating public resources are brought to book. Public land cannot just disappear. We are told there are 200 to 300 acres somewhere, then by and by you find that the land is no longer public but belongs to private individuals."
