    "content": "built a house and it was demolished. With these demolitions, the dreams and savings of the poor people are shattered. Some people will never make that kind of investment in their lives again. Their properties are destroyed and there is no backend accountability. Where was Kenya Power when these people were building those houses? This is a country where nobody cares about the citizens. People should be asking questions; what happened? When these people were building those structures, the same people who are demolishing them now were watching. Probably, some were given title deeds by either the City Council or Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning. As we were told before, Nakumatt Holdings had a title deed. Why should such things happen to Kenyans? Let us not even look at it in the perspective of the rich versus the poor. Even the rich man does not deserve his investment to be destroyed. This country needs to develop; and, development is attained by the citizens making savings and as a result wealth and assets are built out of it. So, every other time we destroy people’s dreams, what are we doing to this country and its citizens? Kenyans begin to think that they have sent their representatives to Parliament and yet they are not speaking for them. I am happy that Sen. Sakaja has spoken on behalf of his people to ensure that they get justice. In addition, those demolitions may be attributed to corruption. Someone must have been bribed if one was allowed to build a house where he or she was not supposed to. So, corruption must be fought from all corners. Why? They say that politicians think about the next election and not about the next generation. The next generation of this beautiful country of Kenya is in danger if corruption is not tamed. I thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker."
