"content": "On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I sought this Statement on 23rd February, 2016. At that time, the advert to allocate that land freely to unknown people had already been put up. As I speak, the allocation is going on despite the fact that there a lot of grievances by the residents of Machakos County. Under those circumstances, we should not keep moving this issue forward. I seek the indulgence of the Vice Chair to at least order the stoppage of the allocation of the said land to allow for serious consultations with the stakeholders who have raised issues. When the advert was put up, they wrote to the NLC and the Ministry, seeking audience so that they can explain themselves and express the way things are, but they have been denied that opportunity. The land is being given out. On Tuesday, there will be something else and Thursday is a national holiday. We will go on recess and by the time we come back, the land would have been given out. In this country land grabbing is real. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I need the indulgence of the Vice Chair."
