    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Report by the Committee on Lands. I have to say that they have done a very holistic work that is very commendable. In fact, you would think they have investigative arms within the Committee. So Dr. Nyamai you have done a great job with your Committee and I support. Even as we talk about Ruaraka land that belongs to the two schools, I have to say that the corruption in this country has reached unprecedented levels. The kind of impunity we are seeing in our country has never been of that magnitude before. The NLC has failed Kenyans in almost all respects. This commission was formed to sort out land matters in this country. But after its creation and existence, we have seen more land problems than solutions. I am perturbed reading the committee report. Even after the AG’s opinion, even before they engaged somebody of the level of headteacher of Ruaraka Primary school and the other secondary school, the NLC colluded with the Treasury and went ahead to pay the hefty Kshs1.5 billion. This is a huge amount by all standards and I side with the other Members who are even quantifying how much this money can do even within the same education sector. Therefore, this is an issue of high magnitude and I am sure that even in the ensuing debate we will see more involvement of Members because this is a report like no other that we have seen in this Parliament. It beats logic and commons sense that public institutions have been on the same land for over 33 years without any complaint from any quarter, then somebody comes up and claims the land is theirs and the government entities go ahead to pay a hefty amount.
