"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, under the Government Lands Act, the Government can only allocate an alienated Government land. Reserve for public use is already alienated for such use and cannot be available for a second alienation. Any such alienation is illegal. The people who broke the law in such allocation should not complain when the land they were irregularly allocated is returned back to the Government. Initiatives such as the Presidential Commission of Inquiry into the Illegal and Irregular Allocation of Public Land, the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission and the Public Investments Committee have all recommended revocation of irregularly acquired titles as a remedy in the recovery process. The preservation of these parcels of land as public utility overrides any private gains. Irregular or illegal allocation of public land has denied the public the land that was meant for public purposes. This includes land meant for road reserves, car parks, railway reserves, fish landing ways, flight panels, schools and colleges, playgrounds, hospitals and dispensaries, religious institutions, river banks, open space, riparian space, buffer zones, recreation parks, sites for Government offices, forests and in the recent past, even cemeteries and graveyards."
