    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, last Friday, I was in Mombasa for the business of this House - Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare - and some people who knew me as an advocate dealing with land cases approached me. What they told me is that they wanted me to help them get land that they were occupying since 1960, where the landlord was absentee. The owner was an absentee landlord. But what shocked me is when they told me that they have tried to approach the National Land Commission (NLC) to get assistance, but the NLC has asked the poor fellows from the Coast to look for a Kshs20 million bribe, to bribe the commissioners or some of the commissioners so that they can be assisted to get the land that they have been occupying since the 1960s. Those are the same people that you are saying that we should give this land to investigate and, if necessary, allocate it. I think it is important that, as we clean, the Ministry should clean the NLC."
