    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, this piece of land, originally LR. No. 599, was allotted by the Government after re-planning into three plots, all the three plots were allotted to Mitema Holdings Limited, Mayword Limited and Nova Construction Company Limited, all the three companies of P.O. Box 1771 Kisumu. This was way back in February 1996. The three companies sold the letters of allotment by way of informal transfer to the present owner who is Shital Bandali at a cost of Kshs3 million per plot. To be more specific, the Statement sought to know why the development has been allowed on this piece of land which houses Nairobi City Council offices and which was reserved for a water reservoir by the defunct City Council of Nairobi in the 1970s when Loresho Estate was being developed. From the available records, no building plans have been approved by either the Ministry or the Nairobi County Government to warrant the purported development. As to when, if it all, the said piece of land ceased being a public utility land, and the State to state when the change of land use from the original purpose to private ownership was effected, the re-planning was done through a PDP No.42/19/95/8 which was used to re-plan the original piece of land which was allotted to three companies that I have mentioned. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the name of the developer is Shital Bandali who bought the three pieces of land as aforesaid and went on to amalgamate the three plots into one piece of land which is the registered Plot No.NRB/BLK90/599. It is the feeling of the Ministry that this matter may be interrogated by the National Land Commission to review if the allocation of the said parcels of land was okay and if they are found to have been reserved for a water reservoir as the Member has sought, then the title may be revoked."
