I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations regarding the frequent incidents of fire in the City County of Nairobi. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) State whether the fire outbreaks that occurred in Jua Kali area along Landhis Road on 30th January, 2024 and in Kijiji area in Lang'ata on 11th February, 2024 were acts of arson, and if so, explain the steps taken to bring to book the culprits. (2) Explain the disaster response mechanisms in place in Nairobi City County, stating factors that contribute to the slow or no response at all to fire disasters, such as the ones I have mentioned in (1) above. (3) Establish the culpability of both national Government and county government officers whose negligence has occasioned losses to citizens through such preventable disasters. (4) State measures put in place to protect the residents of Nairobi from such fire disasters, as well as compensate them for any domestic and commercial losses resulting therefrom. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir."
