    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I confirm to the House that the Municipal Council of Embu demolished a house constructed by the Prisons Department. Her Worship the Mayor of the Municipal Council of Embu allegedly ordered the demolition on her own without the involvement of chief officers. Whereas in this case she acted contrary to Section 96(a) of the Local Government Act, Cap.265, I wish to confirm to the House that the land parcel has not been allocated to any private developer. According to the registered index map, a certified copy of which has been attached herein as Annex 1, the land is unsurveyed. In addition, an inquiry from the District Survey and the District Physical Planning officers has confirmed that the land was unsurveyed and that no development proposals have been made to the council. Appropriate legal action will be taken against the mayor for contravening Section 96(a) of the Local Government Act, Cap.265. Further, I wish to inform the House that the Divisional Investigations Officer is investigating the matter and a criminal case will be instituted against the Mayor if it is established that she committed a criminal act."
