    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I had requested a Statement from the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security on the frequent fires in my neighbourhood, Gikomba Market. We have now reached the end of this session. I had asked for that Statement on 21st of October. Since then, we have heard three more fires with no response from the Ministry. I am concerned with this extraordinary lack of response. Does it mean that the Ministry does not give a damn about the plight of the people of Gikomba? Many of them have lost livelihoods and are destitute. There is no form of action that has been done by the Government to reinforce security and protect the properties and goods of the communities that were affected by these fires. I am requesting for your guidance on what we need to do about that. This is not acceptable. It is quite frustrating and I will not get tired of raising their voice here and bringing their cases in this August House. I will be grateful if you give us guidance on that. I had also raised a problem about Kinyago and Kanuku in my constituency. These are elderly members of my community who have been seeking title deeds from the Government since 2018. They paid their dues and they have been waiting but there is no response. Last month, I had asked the Ministry of lands this Question on their behalf and I have not received a reply or an acknowledgement. Again, I am seeking your assistance in making sure that this issue is raised and these two important Government departments take this issues seriously and respond to the demands and cries of the citizens of Gikomba, Kinyago, and Kanuku in my constituency. Thank you."
