    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am requesting for a Ministerial Statement from the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security. I appreciate that the Deputy Leader of Government Business is listening. There are General Service Unit (GSU) officers who have been given an eviction notice. They have been residing at Kabarnet Gardens here in Nairobi. They are still in service. It is not clear why they have been given an eviction notice from their quarters. They were given the notice on Tuesday, 11th October, 2011, and asked to move within two days, I suppose by today. Could the Minister give this House a statement explaining the circumstances surrounding this eviction notice? In that statement, he should explain which other quarters these officers are going to move into and whether that notice has taken into account that they have families and some of their children are candidates in the examinations which are just about to begin in a week. Could he consider enlarging the time of notice to the end of this year, so that he can find alternative accommodation for these hard working officers, who are still on duty and are being treated in such a hostile manner? Finally, could the Minister assure the House that pending this Ministerial Statement, these officers and their families will not be disturbed and will continue to reside where they have been residing while the Minister satisfactorily explains this matter to the House?"
