    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. First is to commend the Cabinet Secretary for the work that has been done and indicate that Kenya’s devolution is consultative and cooperative one. It would gain a lot through cooperation between county governments and national Government on delivery of services. Hon. Duale, it is good that you have been able to carry out some of the tasks as the Ministry of Defence. I wish to ask a key question about the ability to make policy on development projects for the Ministry. Uhuru Park is a historical site that belongs to all Kenyans. If you remember, the late Hon. (Prof.) Wangari Maathai led the country to defend it against the building of skyscrapers. It houses very historic places including the freedom corner. It is the place where the mothers of the political detainees held the hunger strike. It is a historic space for this country. I find it difficult to agree when you are talking about a policy that will exclude political activity there, a policy that will bring restaurants in the Park. That is bringing back what hon. (Prof.) Maathai was fighting against. What powers do you have to make the policy decisions because I hear you saying that this shall not happen here and this person will not go there. What powers do you have to do that? This is a space that should environmentally be made beautiful, but be accessible to every Kenyan including that chokora."
