    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, there has never been and will never be any infighting between the Ministry of Nairobi Metropolitan Development and the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Local Government. We know our mandates. We were all appointed by the same appointing authority and our mandates are very well specified in Presidential Circular No.1. The only problem that has been there has to do with the attitude of the Nairobi City Council when we started the decongestion plans. Traffic has been there for the last 40 years and we said that we are going to intervene because Kenya is losing more than Kshs24 billion. However, that has now been sorted out by the Prime Minister and we have been given the mandate to decongest the city. As I said, this is basically a question of attitude. If you look at the previous Town Clerk, John Gakuo, his attitude was that anybody who came to help the City was assisting him. He used to welcome any assistance; whether someone wanted to set up flower beds, benches or drinking fountains. The City Council is now of the same view, that whoever comes to assist will be doing it for their own interest."
