    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, as requested by the Member for Makadara, Mr. Mbuvi, I wish to make the following Statement on the sale of Kenya Railways houses in South B. Mr. Speaker, Sir, some of the Kenya Railways Corporation (KRC) operations were concessioned to the Rift Valley Railways (RVR) on 1st November, 2006. However, various assets were retained by the corporation. Part of the Government’s strategy to improve the corporation’s financial position, included disposal of some of the non-strategic land and assets by outright lease or sale. In order to implement this strategy, an Inter-Ministerial Committee was formed and they prepared a report in September, 2007. This report made recommendations, including the outright disposal of specific properties, re-development and leasing of others. In addition, the committee recommended sale of some of the properties to staff at preferential rates. The report was then tabled to the board of KRC and recommendations were adopted"
