    "content": "happening in this country; the animosity against communities and families in this country. It is going to even take our people into the money economy, thus raising the revenue of this country. You will require just to use the e-money to know the status of the land you are buying and the status of the property you are charging in a bank. This is going to hasten the process of borrowing. I believe and trust that, if that happened, we will not actually be conned. Many of us have been conned on land transactions and that, to me, is a great achievement. The National Titling Center did that with only Kshs500 million. With Kshs850 million, we are likely to move far. In fact, I think that with the same money, we can take our land registries all the way down to our constituencies so that our elderly statesmen who have land do not suffer at all. This will help us know the status of our land from our doorsteps. On leasing of equipment, we are going to spend Kshs3.4 billion. We should have spent the Kshs34 billion to buy the same. The primary role of this Government is not to buy assets. We have so many cars lying around and other properties all over the country. Leasing is a strategic plan to deliver services to this country. If we are going to save Kshs27 billion by leasing and get the same services, we are going to further save in maintenance of the said leased assets. People can see the success story of the police vehicles. I also believe the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology should get enough to pay the retired teachers of 1997 and beyond who taught most of us, including hon. Prof. Nyikal. I believe if those teacher are paid, the will give us the blessings and education will be of better use. Those teachers are being denied their rights. They went to court and won an award, but the Government has refused to honour the court’s verdict. The money has gone back to the National Treasury. If those teachers are paid, even the Judiciary will find us working together at various levels of Government for the betterment of this country."
