    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, two days before the President’s Address, the residents of Mukuru kwa Njenga were brutally displaced to pave way for a road. That was the least uncaring thing to do. They live in a difficult environment. I wish the State had provided tents because it rained on that day and we could see blankets and torn mattresses being dried in the rain or used to cover up sewers so that people could sleep. That is not the kind of Kenya we can glow about because it was actually a major contrast. We should not be depending on poverty-related programmes. Those who think that the word “poverty” is treasonable, should go back to the dictionary. We must begin to get a balance. Otherwise, we cannot get the broth and benefits that we think we should have. Finally, the issue of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) is coming to light again. We must remember that unless the IEBC does its job properly, and uninterrupted, we will go back to where we were. In 2002, nobody from outside the IEBC messed up with its work, and that is why we had successful elections."
