    "content": "AG, who also gave his opinion, as well as the Ministry of Lands, also need to be investigated so that we can establish whether there was collusion amongst these various actors in the public sector and, therefore, apportion each one of them a fair share of the blame for making us lose Kshs1.5 billion. It is very interesting that there was no public participation in this process. Ideally, once the need for land is established, once the relevant county or national Government department makes preliminary notice to the NLC and they agree with the need for that land and the necessary regulations are set in motion and the land owners, if they are genuine, are notified of the intention of the Government, what is supposed to happen is for that intention to be publicised so that all interested parties, including all stakeholders and the public, are made aware of the same through the Kenya Gazette and county gazette as appropriate. It is very clear, although notification in the Kenya Gazette is mentioned, there was no effort on the part of NLC or other relevant ministries to notify the public and provide opportunity for them to look at what is being proposed, whether they know the ownership of the land is appropriate, the size of land in question, whether the proposed amount of compensation is fair and so on. All these things were not done. Ideally, also, the procedure requires that once the notification is done and the public and all interested parties give their input to the process, the Registrar is supposed to register the intention and a survey is supposed to be done. But this land is already surveyed. The school has been in existence. Therefore, it is a very clear case of fraud. I support this report and fully agree with all the recommendations. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Report."
