    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for being kind. Kiambu County is my neighbour and so this problem is affecting both counties. I have been dealing with this matter. I think the culture of proper engagement of the public is missing. Yes, the project is good and we want it. However, we should not assume that the people who have been sitting on that land or have been in that area can be taken for granted. They must be taken seriously. We want to see, even as the Committee considers the petition, before you take 60 days immediately, the locals must be consulted, harmonised into that Committee, sit with the four MCAs from the Nairobi County side. I know we also have another number of MCAs from the Kiambu County side. That way, we can make sure that this is done properly. Finally, the National Land Commission (NLC) made a lot of mistakes even in the spellings in their Gazette Notice. That needs to be corrected and we have asked them to do that. I think we need the strength of that Committee to make sure that they do that and come up with the final actual Gazette Notice."
