    "content": "have already done that well. What made us very keen when we started to delve into this issue was that there were allegations that Members of Parliament had been given land in Karen to support the status quo. I am here to say that I was not a beneficiary. All the other Members also made those claims. The crux of the matter is that all the evidence provided by the NLC, the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development, the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) Director, Muhoro were presented to the Sub-committee. In all the presentations of these documents, we felt that there was a gap. The problem is not with the claimants of this land, the problem is with the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development. There is a very big problem with the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development. When we arrived at the conclusion that the case should be given to the EACC and the CID, it was because we could not get enough documents from the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development to determine who owns this land. You have three or four people claiming they own the same piece of land. You have four or five people coming with the very same documents to that one piece of land and all these documents are sourced from the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development. These documents do not come from River Road. They were not counterfeited at some office somewhere else. All these documents came from the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development. I support what the Vice- Chairperson of the Committee said, that the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development does not co-operate even with this Committee. They are not very co-operative. You ask them for this document, they say that it will be there tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, but the documents never came. Also the issue between the NLC and the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development is what is creating these very major problems on land. One agency of Government feels that they have the support of the Executive; so, they can override anything that comes from 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."
