    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Transport on the sale of the Kenya Railways Corporation (KRC) houses in South B. In the Statement, he should clarify the following:- (i) Whether the KRC has abided by the Inter-Ministerial Committee recommendation that the initial tenants be given the first priority in the sale. (ii) How many houses have been sold so far and how many initial tenants have benefitted from the same, giving their names. (iii) What action he is taking to avoid the catastrophe arising from the forceful eviction. (iv) Whether he is aware that the tendering process is obviously flawed and marred with irregularities as follows:- (a) The houses were advertised as plots and not houses in a bid to hoodwink the public and lower the value of the houses. (b) The tenders were opened on 11th March, 2011 even before informing the tenants of the outcome of their bids. On 15th March, the Corporation wrote to the tenants giving them a one month notice to vacate the houses. This clearly shows that the tendering process was in bad faith, aimed at achieving predetermined results. (v) Whether he is aware that senior officials of the KRC were given a commission of Kshs5 million by the aliens, who are the buyers of these houses."
