    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, today I am very disappointed with the Grand Coalition Government. My cousin’s house, Peter Okanda, in which he has lived for less than six months, was brought down on Sunday. It is a shame that the Government is watching. Not even the President or the Prime Minister or a Cabinet Minister has gone to talk to the affected individuals! No wonder this Government does not get it that Kenyans want the election date to remain August. It is because Kenyans want to get rid of them. Kenyans wanted an election as early as yesterday, because this Government is condoning crime of proportions that have never been witnessed anywhere in the world. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the so-called “Mlolongo Brothers” is a group of criminals. Those are the persons from whom my cousin, and other people, bought land. How come until today, the Government has not arrested any of these people? The Minister for Lands is here, and he must understand that the issue here is not who owns the land. The issue is why Kenyans are being evicted. We must all accept that the crime of land grabbing is a major issue in this country. I want to plead with the Minister for Lands to abolish the Lands Allocation Department in his Ministry, so that we can start again. What became of computerisation of land records?"
