    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to congratulate the Ministry for the good work they are doing in addressing the issue of grabbed public land. However, at this point, Kenyans must know that this Question raises a fundamental issue on the sanctity of a title deed. To the extent that I have looked at the list of the titles that he has given and one of the people affected is a former honorable Member of this House. I have documents here showing that this honorable Member who has lost the property got that property from another honorable Member of the House who is here now. This hon. Member who is here now got it from another businessman, and that businessman got it from another one; and that one got it from the former honorable Julius Gikonyo Kiano. Hon. Julius Gikonyo Kiano was allocated this land in 1973. So, five people have changed title deeds up to the one whose property is now being taken away. Given that this particular property that I am trying to interrogate was not one of those properties that were identified under the Ndung’u Commission on unjustifiably acquired land, how far is this Assistant Minister going to go? Is he going to sweep all title deeds or has he a particular limit, because even in the Ndung’u Commission, they put a limit of up to 1992? But here is an Assistant Minister who is now revoking a title of a land that was allocated in 1973!"
