    "content": "people of Kenya, I would not wait to go to The Hague, I would just resign. We cannot put you in an office and then you mess up with our funds and tell us you can go to The Hague. The Committee’s finding is that there was no valuation. Honestly, which NLC would pay land without valuation? Did we employ competent people in the NLC? Which NLC would make payments for land without valuation? They are telling us they relied on stamp duty paid for other pieces of land around that place. Maybe they were asking people who have land in that area the prices of their land. Is that the way NLC conducts its work? This is a body that we thought was so professional, a body that we created to protect our interests and ensure that our public and private land is secure. We were wrong. We have people who are incompetent; people who cannot protect our interests at all. My last point is on the Committee’s observation that the AG’s opinion on the two parcels of land was advisory in nature and only to the extent that the Commission could process the acquisition of the said land in accordance with the law. That to me, is allowing the AG to escape responsibility. If there is going to be amendment to this Report, we need to bring back the AG to take responsibility. This idea of trying to help the AG is not right. If it was Githu Muigai, and probably that is why he was removed from office, let him explain to the people of Kenya what he was doing. He is a very intelligent, sharp legal mind. He cannot tell us that he was only giving some advisory opinion. We do not employ you just to give advisory opinion, we employ you to give advisory opinion that should be respected by the Government. With those many remarks, I want to agree with Hon. (Ms.) Waruguru that everybody should take responsibility. That will be after investigation. All these people must be investigated; all of them. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
