    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for that very good protection. We want the relevant authorities to lift the veil. We want to know who the people behind Shanghai African Investments are. We have been given the names but we want to know the real owners of those pieces of land. We know the people behind those names and I think the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) must move with speed because we want to know who the owners of Shanghai African Investments are and how they found themselves there. We also want to know how Pick Investments found themselves with 40,000 acres and we are saying people are squatters. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would want to encourage the Departmental Committee on Lands of this House to give us a report naming the people behind those companies and who approved the titles. There is no way you can justify the allocation of 40,000 acres of land to one individual. I think it is immoral, illegal and unconstitutional to give one person 40,000 acres of land in a county where people are squatters. We want to know how a company called Witu Conservation Self Help found themselves with 54,000 acres of land. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
