"content": "One of the reasons we removed is that those of us who are in the political class will look for another venue. I am sure even the Governor of Nairobi will not--- The provision is not there. I am sure it was the best place for popular parties like the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) and others in Kenya Kwanza (KK). That is where they showed their might and raised the highest number. I, however, think there are many other open places to go to. Secondly, I will provide the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). It is just one page containing our existence to be there for six months for the transfer. We did not want to stay. Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) cannot stay in a place without anything. We have told the governor to sign for us. Our technical team will be with him to show him where the roads are. As he transitions, we have something that will cover our officers. In fact, before the end of the day, because it is a public document, I will send the Senator a copy. So, if you see a serious issue, please, tell me before 9 O'clock tomorrow. We can postpone the meeting. The entrance management system is part of what we are handing over. Everything will be handed over. He will manage the traffic; they will do everything. We will walk out of that place tomorrow. Just like any other person who hands over, we just said, ‘give us an MoU and in six months, we will show you how to protect the Park, and how to do everything with your team.’ After six months, we get out of it. So, it is everything, including the Park management system. However, I want the Senator of Nairobi to help me, because this is his county. Please, tell the political class, those who want to do weddings and big functions, that they have a good place. You know our supporters. If they stay there for one hour, then the Park will go back to where it was before. So, let us keep our supporters and politics out of the Park. Thank you.
