    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also join Hon. Junet Mohamed, the Leader of the Minority Party, to condemn that act by the County Government of Nairobi. I ask the County Government of Nairobi and Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) to get into a negotiation or some sort of dialogue, to be able to resolve the issues on pending bills before them. What we have seen around Stima Plaza are criminal acts. I was asking myself last night as I watched the television, where the police who should be ensuring there is law and order everywhere in the country, are---. The Inspector- General of Police must take decisive action and begin with the drivers who drove those trucks there. It should be very easy for the Inspector-General of Police through the Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI), to extract information about the drivers who dumped there and the people who instructed them. Whether it goes all the way up to the governor, it should not matter. We should not entertain criminality in the guise of attempting to collect debts from public institutions. Some of our constituents are waiting for bursaries and for Grade 9 classrooms to be built through NG-CDF. Members of Parliament are also asking for the NG- CDF money. What if we decided that everybody now will take the law into their own hands and do whatever they want? Will we have a country? The City Council of Nairobi owes businessmen and women in this country money in pending bills to the tune of hundreds of billions. What if the people who are owed by the Nairobi City County decide to also go and dump their garbage outside City Hall tomorrow? How will the Governor of Nairobi take that? Under the Ethics and Integrity Act, this is not only a criminal act but one that goes against the Integrity and Ethics Act."
