    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, they said that it was a Cabinet decision. So, I expect the Minister for Lands to have been involved in any decision by the Cabinet to demolish property. If he was not, I withdraw. I have very limited time; let me finish. Even as the Minister is denying this, I have seen a Gazette Notice signed in his Ministry purporting to revoke titles of properties which were approved by the Ministry in the first instance. Be that as it may, It is a culture of this Government, which I belong to, to demolish properties belonging to Kenyans. I have even seen a Minister for Public Works supervising the demolition of a multi-billion residential house. We cannot continue doing these things if we want Kenyans to develop. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister for Lands must take responsibility to ensure that land of an owner in this country has one title. Where there are two titles, he must ensure that only one title is valid. I say this without any fear of contradiction, because I have seen two people with titles for one parcel of land. The issue of boundaries should not be trivialised. We are aware that Machakos County once upon a time had its boundaries at Kariokor. These boundaries continued to be moved to somewhere past the JKIA, and now there are plans to move them further. I want to say this on behalf of the Kamba community, we will not accept the movement of Nairobi boundary from where it is now by an inch further into Machakos County."
