    "content": " Hon. Speaker, thank you for giving me an opportunity to add my voice to this matter. I am the Member for Ruaraka and people are busy stealing my schools. As a Member, under Articles 95 (1) and (2) of the Constitution, my duty is to oversee only two things – education and security. I oversee Ruaraka Primary School and Ruaraka High School. A gentleman who knows how to go around Nairobi is busy saying that the school which I oversee and which I built classes for using the National Government-Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) is somehow on his land. I have just constructed a hall which I will commission on Thursday. I cannot put money in a place if I knew it was stolen property. Hon. Speaker, we need to talk about corruption. There are people out there who are on the loose. They work very closely with City Hall, look for documents here and there and cheat unsuspecting Kenyans. The Speaker resides in a house which is funded by the Government of Kenya. It will go to these people very soon. If we are not careful, even this Chamber will go to them. I want to warn that fellow, if he is looking at me. I am sure he is watching the proceedings of the National Assembly. Ruaraka is not up for sale and nobody will steal it. It is not just those two schools which are going to the same fellow but also the estates in Mathare North and the General Service Unit (GSU) houses. I am glad that this fellow thinks that his name is very good for stealing purposes. The other time there were corruption cases, I was glad that there was a lady who was called Ms. Omollo. Sometimes some names also need to appear in such cases, so that everybody is in the issue of taking property. There is a name in the Report. Some of those names are consistent. You find them because they are always there. There are always Waweru and Kamau. When Omollo is there, you also know that this thing is now a national issue which we need to tackle."
