    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, you recall that on the 3rd of December, 2014, as we were just about to go on recess, the Chairperson of the Committee on Land and Natural Resources gave this House a Report in which the Committee found that the land in question was irregularly allocated to the NIS. If you recall, you ordered that no action should be taken to give this land as, indeed, it was found that it had been irregularly allocated. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am seeking your direction on this matter because since then, a lot has happened. I have documents here to show that the Treasury paid Kshs6,900 to the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development. For 400 acres, the Treasury has paid Kshs6,000. A letter of allocation has been issued. The Cabinet Secretary, hon. Charity Ngilu, has already signed a part development plan for that particular parcel where already we have, as I speak, ranchers who are going to be displaced. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am raising this matter now because it is a matter of concern. This is an era of land grabbing, but it is even more serious when our land is being grabbed by the Government. Therefore, I want the concerned Chairperson to ensure that this matter is investigated seriously and quickly so that this land is reverted to the people. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you may be aware - and this is now known - the NIS has been going round the country grabbing land---"
