    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this important debate. First, I remember the President reminded us of the Constitution. He said it is a tool which guides us to free, fair and inclusive Kenya and all this is not happening. This House has been creating laws that have come with departments and commissions knowing that such commissions or departments will be able to address challenges that are facing Kenyans. As we speak, corruption talk has been going on in Kenya. We talk of money being lost but there is big corruption that is being experienced within the Coast region. We have entrusted people within the department of lands to handle land matters in the country. However, some of these officers that we have entrusted to take care of land that belongs to some communities in Kenya have been colluding with wealthy and rich people and issuing title deeds. Instead of issuing title deeds to the communities which it is their ancestral land, you see some of the officers have been issuing title deeds to the wealthy people in this Republic. That is a big challenge and this is corruption of the highest calibre. So, I urge the Government, if possible, as they pursue areas where money is being lost, they should also focus more on whatever is happening in the department of land."
