    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, whereas I appreciate the effort made by the Assistant Minister to address the matter, I would like to say that many things do not tally with what is on the site. Surely, citizens of this country cannot go to the Ministry of Lands, pay money to have a boundary established and it takes over one and a half years to respond to an issue. I would like the Assistant Minister to say when this matter will be addressed, and why it has taken over one and a half years after receiving money from the owners of the parcels of land. I also intervened in this matter and went to see the District Commissioner. That particular officer kept the District Commissioner and the local leaders waiting on 17th May, because he never turned up. She did not even send an apology. When the DC contacted her, she said that she would turn up the following week, but she did not respond. Truly, the Assistant Minister may not be getting the real truth on the ground. This is a purely careless and casual attitude of the Government. I would like to know when this matter will be sorted out. All the things that you have stated like lack of funds, among other things, do not concern ordinary wananchi . They are being taxed heavily. They cannot even buy food because of being taxed by the Government. Now, you are telling them that you do not have money for fuel and you require a fuel guzzler to do that small demarcation. Can they not use public means? That is not for me. But I would like the Assistant Minister to state when this situation will be sorted out and what action he will take because that officer is not living up to the expectations of the Kenyan people."
