    "content": "I wish to request an urgent Statement from the Committee on Lands and the Cabinet Secretary concerned with matters of land as a matter of urgency. Indulge me a bit, hon. Speaker. We used to have Questions by Private Notice of matters of an urgent nature. I stand before this House because of a matter that has come to my attention about a piece of land belonging to the Government of Kenya in the area called Community, right across the Courts. I have found out that it is about to be sold within 14 days. The same land is titled to the Department of Immigration. It is about to be sold for a whopping amount of Kshs1.1 billion. I wish to request for a Statement from the Committee on Lands regarding the circumstances surrounding a parcel of land identified as LR. No.209/13332 in the Community Area of Nairobi. In the Statement, I want the Committee to clarify how the said parcel of land was transferred to Rose Star Properties Limited from the Department of Immigration. I wish the Committee to further clarify if the said land was irregularly allocated to Rose Star Properties Limited and revoked through Gazette Notice Volume CXII, No.35 of Special Issue as recommended by the Ndung’u Report. I want the Committee to state what the Government and/or the National Land Commission has done to protect that parcel of land or any other undeveloped public land, particularly the ones mentioned in the Ndung’u Report. I want the Statement to clarify and disclose the ownership and shareholding of Rose Star Properties Limited. Lastly, I want the Committee to state in the Statement what the Government is doing to put an immediate caveat on this particular land in order to stop the purported sale of that piece of land within 14 days. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
