    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I support this Statement by Sen. Sakaja. First, it concerns those who live very close to where I used to. I grew up in Umoja, which is a walking distance from Mihang’o and, therefore, I know about the victims that Sen. Sakaja is talking about. It is really unfortunate that we live in a country where the rights of the downtrodden and the poor are disregarded. This is part of the problem that I was trying to explain a few minutes ago; that, in our application and in the war against corruption, let us treat everybody equally. We are aware that the Ndung’u Land Report, for example, named very senior people in Government who acquired huge tracts of land and put up buildings. The team that is leading these efforts of demolition right now is Kenya Power. Previously we had the dreaded multi- agency team that demolished people’s houses. It is unfair. Let the truth be known. When you give your direction, Madam Temporary Speaker, please rule in favour of the poor so that if we are protecting those in the Ndung’u Land Report, let us also protect the poor. Protect everybody, including, my friend Sen. Malalah, the Senator for Kakamega whose house is rumoured to have been built on riparian land. It should not be destroyed."
