    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for your intervention. We are calling for consistency in the use of public funds. Another issue concerns what Members have raised about the Ruaraka land and this is a major concern to the Committee. The new Constitution transferred the budget-making process to this House because we are the representatives of the people who are taxpayers. Therefore, it is our duty to make sure money is used in the right manner. We were concerned when we saw that Kshs.3.2 billion will be paid to a group of people who sat somewhere in a corner and manufactured papers of land they owned somewhere. Now, they want to sell it back to the public and are being paid in a hurry. I can assure you, if that payment goes through, we will open a pandora’s box in this country. There are many people who sold land to the Government at low prices in the past. They will all go back to boardrooms and manufacture papers to show they were paid little money and now they want big money because they have heard that there is big money somewhere.
