    "content": "The most crucial issue which kept coming up now and again is the need for an urgent review of the Local Government Act which gives the Minister for Local Government a lot of sweeping powers over the performance of civic leaders and chief officers. As you know, the civic leaders in Nairobi and other local authorities are the policy makers. However, the implementation of their policies is limited in the sense that they must be in good books with the chief officers who take instructions from the Minister for Local Government. Therefore, there is an urgent need to review this Act so that enabling provisions are made. If this is done, there will be a harmonious working relationship between the civic leaders and the chief officers."
