    "content": "If you go through the Gazette Notice of 1963, it has given the areas which were demarcated for institutions. These include even Mlolongo. This land at Kabete Veterinary Laboratory was left as Government land. It was not among what was gazetted. The hon. Member can go ahead and peruse the Gazette Notice. Mr. Speaker, Sir, with regard to the release of the fellows who were arrested, the work of the police is to maintain law and order. First, where the skirmishes took place is a private land that belongs to somebody. It does not belong to the golfers. I even told my friend that the golfers had long applied for land and they were given an allotment letter in August 1995. To date, they have not paid for the legal fee that is required which is only Kshs2,500. I would urge the questioner to ask the golfers to contribute the Kshs2,500 in order for their title deed to be processed. There is no way I can release criminals. The police came in swiftly, arrested those who caused havoc and we took them to court. Ordinarily, that is the end of the work of the police. If there is anything else which the questioner wants me to do, then that belongs to the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs or the Attorney-General because it involves court cases. Mr. Speaker, Sir, with regard to Mr. Gitobu Imanyara’s question, the companies’ names are there, he can go and check the names of the directors from the Registrar of Companies. There is nothing being hidden there. On the issue raised by the Member for Lari, revoking of title deeds is beyond Ojode. That belongs to the Minister concerned with matters related to land. Thank you."
