"content": "Let me thank the Chairman of the Committee and his Committee for what I consider to be a job very well done and an answer that is sufficiently satisfactory. Everybody can see clearly what corruption can do. It eats away the country and a society. Land that was reserved for a water reservoir serving all those parts of the city that have been mentioned had been allocated to an individual who then sold it and then it was sold again and now some construction work is going on to benefit an individual. I want to thank the Chairman of the Committee. I also want to thank the National Land Commission (NLC) and the Department of Lands for taking up action to revoke this title. I want to believe that the construction that is already going on there will be demolished like the NLC assured me. Once it is demolished and restored back to the Nairobi City County for the purpose to which it was alienated; that is a water reservoir, it will serve that purpose. It will be a lesson for those corrupt persons in this country who believe that they can take public assets for their own personal benefit at the expense of the public. I am quite happy. I will raise this question again in a month’s time if the construction is not demolished."
