    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to apologise for the fact that this Statement has been in demand for quite a bit of time. However, I think it is a very important Statement, as it depicts the whole issue about land grabbing and the problems that we have about it. Mr. Mbuvi raised five issues relating to purchase of the pieces of land. If I can deal with them issue by issue, the first and second were parcels of land which were reserved for the Kenya Veterinary Vaccines Production Institute (KEVEVAPI). The plots were, however, allocated to individuals in 1995 on speculative grounds as the same were transferred to the National Social Security Fund (NSSF), all of them for a sum of Kshs675 million, in the same year before they were developed. The plots were transferred as follows: L.R 209/342 was allocated to Shajaa Trading Company Limited for a term of 99 years from 1st January, 1995. The plot was later transferred to the NSSF for Kshs225 million on 26th May, 1995. It is important to note that the private individual only paid Kshs500,000 for the land in terms of stamp premium, but went on to sell it for Kshs225 million without doing anything on the land."
