    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This is one of those issues that should evoke some urgency from this House. It is a tragedy to hear of a situation where savings from poor 3,000 hard working Kenyans stands at a risk of having a property valued at Kshs650 million being auctioned at a meager Kshs250 million. If there is a matter that should receive urgency and attention from this House, then it is this one. You can imagine even if it is from us Senators, we save our money in a SACCO, we buy a property, then we wake up one day and find somebody auctioning it at Kshs250 million and it is valued at Kshs650 million. Mr. Speaker, Sir, for some of us who practice in courts of law, there are some matters that are handled with a certificate of urgency. Though we do not have such a term in our Standing Orders, I think this is a matter that should be disposed of with some urgency so that the people who have brought this Petition to this House can have some hope in it. I do not want to belabour the issues that have been put forth by my colleagues, but I am urging the Committee that will be privileged to look into this matter, to give it some"
