    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government, on the tussle within the Nairobi City Council, due to the purported debt of Kshs9 billion allegedly not paid by the Nairobi Water Company. This matter had been highlighted in various fora and it is causing the workers of the various departments concern and anxiety. I would like the Minister in his Statement to clarify the following aspects:- 1. Who is owed this colossal amount of money and what is the actual status of the debt? 2. What services were rendered or goods that may have been supplied by the purported payee and when that was done? 3. Could he also comment on the apparent standoff between the Nairobi City Council and the company that supplies water, especially in view of the fact that five members of the board of directors of this company are also members of the Nairobi City Council? 4. Could he state what measures he has put in place since this matter came to the public limelight?"
