    "content": "Hon. Speaker, the issue of land is very emotive in this country. We must be very clear about who should sign the title deeds and leases in this country. We cannot be a country which is left to guess which is the genuine and authentic signature in a title deed. This is because even banks will stop accepting title deeds as security and this economy is going to suffer immensely. This is why I am saying that this report needs to be adopted. We need to clarify that matter because it is one of the recommendations in the report. It should be clarified who is actually supposed to be signing this document. Before I forget, and I raise this matter in good faith, if there is anyone out there who is purporting to go to some officers in this country telling them that they are brokers between those officers and hon. Mbadi, they should know that they are dealing with a different animal. I want to say this because some of my friends have fortunately told me that some people are probably misusing my name out there. I want to tell those officers who probably were conned that they should know that those guys cannot reach me and they should demand a refund. I am very serious about this because I want to be speaking for what I believe in and I will always speak. Again, those who are taking advantage of my statement to settle political scores; those who are using my statement also to bring another group of corrupt people in the system, stay warned. We will also catch up with you. If we finish with the people who are corrupt now and we find that you used me to bring corrupt people, we will also go for those corrupt people. As a House, we will pass this report. I do not think this House should oppose or defeat this report. This is a good report and this is the way to go. If this House can hold the Executive to account, that is why we are here and why we were elected, especially now when there is separation of powers between the Executive and the Legislature. This House must play its effective role of oversight and we must oversee the Executive effectively."
