    "content": "Hon. Speaker, first of all, I must appreciate that I do not come from that area, but the Petition that has been presented by Hon. (Dr.) Pukose raises a fundamental issue, which this country is grappling with. There is possible corruption, because you cannot explain how within three months land value can rise from Kshs23 million to Kshs175 million. Definitely that is contrary to any economic variable or indicator. Either the county government is corrupt in this deal or the person who sold that land to the county government made unnecessarily high profit at the expense of the taxpayers, the people of Kenya. Therefore, I support that this matter should be considered. The Committee should even engage experts to do a proper valuation of that land; it is something that we are likely to face in the future. We have faced a lot of this many times."
