I hoped that the Minister would be here because I do not know whether the copy of the written answer that I was given was meant for me or not. This is because my name is mis-spelt. Secondly, the answer seems to have been worked on from a desk without anybody visiting the slum areas to see how the people of Nairobi live. Thirdly, a zero is missing. If you look at the population of Nairobi of nearly four million, you will find that about 50 per cent live in sub-standard houses. That is about two million people. Could the Minister tell us the plans he has to improve the living standards of Kenyans?"}
