    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, there are governors who have totally abused the new Rating Act. In the County of Nairobi City, I have seen instances where houses that were allocated almost 40 years ago, where very senior citizens are already residing, those are the only homes they have known--- Now those homes are being auctioned by my good friend, Sen. Sakaja. He is evicting people from those homes and then a cartel ends up buying those houses. That was never our intention. This idea of taking away people's homes in a very arbitrary manner is inhumane. I hope Governor Sakaja will listen to me. I heard on Sunday the President advising him in a church service that he should approach this matter by engaging the people who are already residing in those homes. How can it be that to recover rates of about Kshs104,000, you auction a house valued at Kshs12 million or Kshs15 million? This is a scheme of robbing very dedicated civil servants who bought those houses long ago and who have used those homes as their homes. Let me even pose a question. You are supposed to collect rates to provide services. Where I live and I am challenging Governor Sakaja to come here and give a 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."
