    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to second the Motion that this House do adopt the report on the Sessional Committee on the County Public Accounts and Investment Committee (CPAIC) on the inquiry into the possible loss of funds through the acquisition of land for public use. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to limit my remarks on three issues. From the onset, before I get into the substantive issues of this report, I would like to thank the Powers and Privileges Committee for having taken their time. This was a very emotive issue that brought a lot of questions in the integrity of this House. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the reason we are called distinguished Senators is because the Senate is a House of reason that unites the entire Republic of Kenya. When we are here, we are tasked with one responsibility. The Constitution is clear that our role under Article 96 is to protect the interests of our counties and their governments. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this issue of Ruaraka Land is something which has divided us. At one point, in this House, it was difficult to tell who is in opposition and who is in Government. However, today, I dare say that by the end of debate on this report, that division will once again be very clear. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
