    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, so, these people have a claim; but to me that is not even a matter of discussion today, legality or otherwise. Whether the Ministry of Lands or the Ministry of Transport or whatever Ministry has legal documents to the contrary, the way this thing was executed was so insensitive. I urge this House that we need to reprimand this Government. We need to ask this Government to be sensitive. You cannot encourage investors to invest when you have no respect for people’s property. There is nobody who will come to this country and invest if this country has no respect for the property of its citizens. To make it worse, if you can punish your fellow Kenyans the way you did, who is going to come from out there to come and invest in this country? I want to ask first the Minister for Transport: Honestly, if you were in your house, or wherever, and you watched when those houses were being flattened and you see an adult crying, wailing and talking hysterically, how would you feel in your heart? If you were the Minister for Lands whose officers misbehaved to this extent, how would you feel when you see young Kenyans crying--- Even one mzee said that he could not even trace his son and daughter-in-law? How will you feel when you see such a scene happening in a country and you are accused to be the one who has allowed something like that to happen? Could we have done it differently? That is the question that I keep on asking myself. With those very many remarks, I am aware many of my colleagues would want to contribute to this. I ask hon. Karua to second my Motion. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, and I beg to move."
