"content": "request the Minister to open up more tribunals not just at the provincial level but also at the district level. This will encourage a good relationship between the landlords and tenants so that we do not have the problems we experienced in 2007 where some tenants felt that it was their right to stay in houses rent-free. That is totally unacceptable! If somebody has put up a building or houses, they are entitled to receive a fair rent of their investment. If there are tenants who do not want to pay rent, the Ministry should take steps to force them to pay rent to the owners of those buildings. This is how we develop a healthy landlord and tenant relationship. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the other commendable plan by the Ministry is to upgrade slums. It is really sad that 70 per cent of the people in Nairobi stay in slums. This is even a breach of human rights. We need to upgrade those slums. If we say that we will eradicate them, that may not happen very soon. However, we can give them good roads, water, electricity and even drainage which are very important so that they feel that they are part and parcel of being Kenyans. I think that is important. With those few remarks, I second."
