    "content": "was grabbed and that is where we are starting from. We know there are land injustices there but that is where we are starting from. We need to be given a chance. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, James Orengo said that he was not in charge. But I want to say right now as I stand here - and it is the truth - that I am the patron of the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) in my constituency. However, if anything happened in my CDF in Thika, the person who is in charge is me. So, the person who was in charge at that time at the Ministry of Lands was James Orengo. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the land that was issued out amounted to 500,000 acres. It means there is no way it can be issued without his consent. I know how the Ministry of Lands operates. He must have been requested and he knows it happened. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we do not want to be taken for a ride in this nation. The Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) side should sit, relax and watch the Jubilee Government deliver its manifesto and we are doing it. I want to say that a thief is a thief and when somebody gets you stealing, you should not say that I am not a thief because other people stole before me or some things happened. If you are the one who is caught at that specific time, then you are answerable at that time. So, there is no way you can change that person from being a thief. Land was stolen in Lamu. It was stolen by human beings and not cows. People went there and land was taken. So, when a person takes something that does not belong to him, then the name that person gets is a thief, a thief and a thief. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I was wondering what this thing about a referendum is all about and yet, we came from elections last year. I was trying to understand what is going on but it has come to my realization and understanding that referendum was all about camouflaging what those people did when you were in the Opposition. They were just camouflaging. They do not want Kenyans to realize what is happening. They want to camouflage their deeds. I pity the people of Coast Province because they were told that they will be given land but, instead, the land was taken away from them by the same people who told them to vote for them. So, they took their land and got their votes. The Coast people should know that those people went there, cheated them and then took their votes and land."
