    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, my second statement is on the ongoing evictions and demolitions in Mathare and Mukuru kwa Reuben areas of Nairobi County. Mr. Speaker, Sir, 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 actions being taken by the Government of Kenya, concerning evictions and demolitions in Mathare and Mukuru kwa Reuben areas of Nairobi County. The recent floods in the country, especially in Nairobi and its environs have resulted in devastating consequences, including loss of lives and extensive property distraction. While I acknowledge the necessity of measurements to ensure public safety, I am deeply concerned by the Government's decision to evict people and demolish properties on riparian land along the Mathare and Ngong rivers, which has been executed in an inhumane manner and in violation of rights of the affected individuals."
