    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to join the rest of my colleagues who have supported this Report. I was, indeed, one of the joint Committee Members who burnt the midnight oil to ensure that we delivered a report that is in tandem with the expectations of Kenyans. Just to give a brief overview, with the assistance of the Government, Kenyans were duped, in the sense that the Kenya Gazette Notice that was referred to by the Attorney-General indicates that, indeed, this land was available to be bought and. Therefore, Kenyans worked on the basis of that Kenya Gazette Notice. Whether or not the generation of that Kenya Gazette Notice was an illegality, it is not within the province of mwananchi . Therefore, there is no way the Government can get itself out of this mess. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we do not condone impunity. We are saying that we cannot be in a Government which destroys people’s property, and which does things without a human face. Therefore, we want to tell the Government, just like my colleague, hon. Muthama said, that if we have money to pursue the Al Shabaab and do other things, we should have money to ensure that those people, who were duped with the assistance of the same Government are compensated, among the other actions we have suggested, relating to compensation. With those few remarks, I support this Report. Mr. Orengo, we support you in your work. You should be firm as you have always been to ensure that those crooks in your Ministry are sent packing. You have already done well, but you can do more."
