    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the greatest disease that we have had in this country is corruption in the Ministry of Lands. We all remember what happened in Syokimau as a result of corruption. We had demolitions. Those are products of corruption in the Ministry of Lands. How do you end up with a title deed where we already have ownership? The Ministry of Lands officers know very well that such a parcel of land is owned by so and so, or by such and such institution or company. However, they still go ahead and allocate that land to somebody else. I do not know whether they are the same people who issue similar papers, with seals, referred to as title deeds to land on the streets or near rivers creating the problems that we had recently in these places, where the Government is demolishing buildings. It is a sad thing particularly for children, when they see their houses being pulled down. It is because of corruption that we have had in the Lands Office. I am very sure that if the Ministry of Lands officers had not colluded with other people, we would not be having problems that we have had in some of these places where you have multiple titles for parcels of land."
