"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Member is being economical with the truth. This particular agency was given a reservation to this land in 1990 and they never stepped on that piece of land. They actually slept on their rights. When the land was allocated and a title issued to this particular company, again, they never did anything about it. They were just quiet until when they realized that this title had been revoked. The comfort is that this land belongs to the Government of Kenya. It does not belong to any particular Ministry. I have made it possible for any Ministry to access the land. I know that presently the Ministry of State for Immigration and Registration of Persons does not have funds, but if another Government agency has funds from the Treasury, they can approach the Permanent Secretary to the Treasury, who holds the title, and say: “You have allocated us funds, can we build on this particular land? Just two weeks ago, there was a piece of land in Mombasa which was allocated to the Ministry of Lands. The Ministry did not have funds and the Treasury allocated some funds to the Judiciary. The Ministry of Lands has surrendered that land to the Judiciary through arrangements within the Government. What the Member is saying can still be done, but I would rather not go by the misconception which he is belabouring that this land belongs to the Ministry of State for Immigration and Registration of Persons."
