    "content": "Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker, for allowing me to use this card. I would like to seek a Statement, pursuant to Standing Order No.44(2)(c), from the Leader of Majority Party on the recent appoint of the Director-General of Lands by the Cabinet Secretary. The Lands Act and the Lands Registration Act, 2012 do not envisage such a position and yet the Cabinet Secretary single-handedly appointed the holder of the office. I would like the Leader of Majority Party to come and report to this House on the following:- One, why the Cabinet Secretary revoked the appointment of Mr. Zablon Mabea who was a presidential appointee and a former Commissioner of Lands; two, why the Cabinet Secretary appointed Mr. Peter Kahuho as the Acting Director-General despite the fact that the National Lands Commission protested the move; three, why the Government seal which is used to seal titles deeds was removed from Ardhi House to Ruaraka Survey Field Headquarters Office; and four, the procedure used in the appointment of such public officers. The Leader of Majority Party should also tell us why about 17,000 titles which were prepared in the name of the Commissioner of Lands, Zablon Mabea have not yet been signed and what happened to such titles because they have to be replaced. Lastly, will it be prudent for the Kenya Gazette appointing the Director-General to be subjected to the Committee on Delegated Legislation for consideration and investigation?"
