    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, as much as there are no amendments, it is important. Members will remember that this is the Committee that was investigating the matter of the Ruaraka High School land. We saw the Chair of the National Lands Commission (NLC) in the Press the day before yesterday aggressively fighting because of that report. It is incumbent on the Departmental Committee on Lands to table the report that they have come up with. The Budget and Appropriations Committee declined to approve the Kshs1.5 billion that had already been paid under Article 223 of the Constitution. That payment remains illegal in the eyes of this House. There is still a claim of Kshs1.7 billion on the same land. There are very many issues around that Ruaraka land. There are also issues including the land belonging to the General Service Unit (GSU). It is important that the Departmental Committee on Lands tables their report to guide the Budget and Appropriations Committee on what actions to take on all those other pending bills. There is the pending bill of Kshs1.7 billion and some money that is still being claimed on the GSU land. Therefore, I just wanted to take this opportunity to encourage the Departmental Committee on Lands to finish the investigations as well as the other investigations being done by the Senators."
