    "content": "Yes, indeed, Mr. Speaker, Sir. First, I thank the Cabinet Secretary for that comprehensive response. However, the Cabinet Secretary perhaps could advise his team that they should also be responding to correspondence from Senators. I did write to you in February and all these could have been responded to in writing. I do not know what sort of correspondence management system you have at the Ministry of Defence, but it needs improvement. Number two, it is a terrible indictment on the capacity of the Nairobi County if the Ministry of Defence is doubting our ability to manage a park. It just breaks my heart to hear some of these things. First, hon. Cabinet Secretary, I had the occasion to visit this Park in October, 2023. You have spoken about maintenance of monuments. I want to know the rationale for the demolition of the main pavilion where we used to address our supporters from because I believe that was also a monument that needed to be preserved. Number two, you have spoken of a visitor's management system that has been developed by the Ministry. I want to know if that system will be managed by the Ministry or you will be handing it over to the Nairobi City County Government for further use. It would have been nice if the House could have had sight of the sort of MoU that we expect to be signed tomorrow. I am a worried Senator given the reservations that have been expressed by the Cabinet Secretary on our capacity; that, in fact, these works have just been delayed by two things. The connection of water and improvement of drainage works is what has kept the people of Nairobi away from their Park for almost two years.
