    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also rise to support the Report of the PIC and thank the Committee for coming up with a well-balanced Report. They identified the real issues. As has been stated, the NSSF has a history of being exploited to buy land at exorbitant prices. If you read the Report, you will find that the land was bought way back in the early 1990s at the value that it would cost 20 years later. It was so inflated that when the NSSF tried to sell the land more than 20 years later, it could only fetch the amount it was bought at. The fact that some innocent and gullible Kenyans were duped into buying that land by some crooks and had put up very expensive buildings, it was only fair that they be told to pay the price to the NSSF. They were actually innocent purchasers. I urge Kenyans that whenever they buy land and put up houses, they should make sure that they verify the ownership. I also agree with the Committee completely that the procurement processes of that entity be audited to ensure that the fraud that has happened in the past stops in the future. I support the Report."
