    "content": " Therefore, we should not allow this kind of behaviour to go unchecked. These are the same governors who sometime back, were asking to be given some security officers under their command. You can imagine if these governors had policemen under their command, they would trample on everyone. I ask the Inspector- General of Police to make sure that action is taken against the people who dumped garbage outside Stima Plaza. I also want to encourage the business people I saw crying on national television. They have closed down restaurants because nobody can patronise their restaurants. They must take civil action against the Nairobi City County for compensation for lost business. They are closing down people's businesses. I did not know that Stima Plaza is not even owned by KPLC; they are tenants of Stima Plaza. It is owned by pensioners, our mothers and fathers who worked in KPLC and KenGen, as it were before. It is their business as landlords that is being spoilt by the County Government of Nairobi. Hon. Speaker, the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security is here so you should direct him to summon the Inspector-General of police to explain to the committee and this House why they are watching when criminality takes root unchecked. People are only left to cry on the television about how their businesses have been locked down. KPLC employees are also being paid a salary but they cannot go to work. Hon. Speaker, I beg that you direct the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security of this House to pick up that matter together with the Departmental Committee on Energy Committee, with the Inspector-General of Police and the Ministry concerned to make sure that there is an amicable solution to this problem. More importantly, the Inspector-General of Police should ensure that criminal charges are leveled against those who dumped garbage outside Stima Plaza. That behaviour cannot be condoned."
