We have passed here the Cities, Municipals and Urban Cities Bill. Only Nairobi, Mombasa and, I think, Kisumu, have met the threshold. The service delivery in big towns like Nakuru, Homa Bay and Kakamega run a risk of service disruption, particularly at the transition, when I expect the repeal of Cap.265; living nobody with the responsibility to collect garbage and render the services that the local authorities were doing. I think it is important that serious thought is put into that, so that in the transition provisions of this Bill, a mechanism or provision can be put in place, that secures in a transitional manner, the continued service provision by the outgoing members of the local authority."}
