"content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, other matters have gone beyond what one would call civilization. We have witnessed a situation where a man is in court over his house worth Kshs100 million that was demolished in Spring Valley. I think the demolitions taking place in this country are selective because they are not based on law. I would request that this House says that demolitions should come to a stop until when we get a sensible framework of handling this matter. This gentleman had invested Kshs100 million in Spring Valley and the Government had all the time to go and witness the demolition and literally throw away court summons. These are the kind of things that we have been witnessing. There must be equity in law. It cannot be that in this place things are handled this way and in another place things are handled differently."

"content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, if the citizens were misled by the Government by being given a piece of paper which looked liked an authentic title certificate, then they went and built their houses, they must be compensated. I think the demolitions in this country are actually political and they are not based on law. I would like to say that the least expected of this Government is to undertake that they will compensate these people. There is no need of reading the law because the law is not abstract. The law must be read together with the Bible and the Quran. You cannot just read the law made by men and throw away the Bible and the Quran. You must truly have a Godly heart where you say: “In spite of these letters that I am seeing which were written by man, there were other letters written by God.”"

"content": "There is nowhere in the Bible or in the Quran where you can bring a piece of paper and say: “This is the law and, therefore, I will demolish a dwelling where there are ten children.” Surely, we must start acting as leaders who are responsible to their country. We must start acting as leaders who have the hearts of their citizens. We are driving the citizens of this country to a point where they are living in despair. That is why blood pressure and depression are the fastest growing diseases in this country. That is because of the behaviour that we are witnessing from Government authorities."
