    "content": " Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. In the course of the debate yesterday on the issue of demolitions, some documents were produced here. Having looked at those papers, I was given direction by the Chair to come back to the House and clear the air and determine whether or not, according to our records, these are valid and genuine records that are kept within the Lands Office. The first clarification is related to the documents that were produced by hon. Wavinya Ndeti. There were two documents. Both of them were title deeds with supporting deed plans and maps. The position of hon. Wavinya Ndeti was that two title deeds had been issued in respect of the same piece of land. I just want to clear the air by saying that all the documents by hon. Ndeti were genuine documents. However, her interpretation of what the documents said was not accurate in the sense that the title deed in respect of grant No.90243, which was registered on 18th January, 2002, was as a result of an attempt to excise portions of the land belonging to the Kenya Airports Authority which was irregular. To that extent, that attempt was stopped in the sense that the KAA surrendered the second title deed. So, the only valid title is the title that was produced before the House. There was also a surrender document that was registered on 5th December, 2005. In that surrender document, the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) says that it was never their intention at any time to surrender any of its land comprised in the first grant. Therefore, the second grant was issued in error. For those reasons, they were invalid. The original of the second title, which was produced by hon. Wavinya Ndeti, was actually surrendered by the KAA to the Ministry of Lands, and the surrender document is here. Therefore, the attempt to produce the second title was an attempt to illegally excise land from the KAA land. Mr. Speaker, Sir, if you allow me, I will lay on the Table the second title, which was produced by hon. Ndeti. Indeed, there was a surrender of that title on 1st February, 2007. So, the surrender document is here. The title itself shows that the earlier title was surrendered."
