    "content": " There have been no demolitions in the Central Business District of the City. There have been no demolitions in the City centre. Therefore, I assume that the hon. Member must be mistaken in that respect. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as far as the policy of the Government is concerned, the Government values every community living in this country. That is not only the indigenous communities that have lived there throughout history, but even the communities that have settled in this country. They are valued by the Government, they are protected by the Government and their property is protected. There is no policy of the Kenya Government to, in any way, inhibit the commercial growth of any of our population. Indeed, it is the stated policy of the Kenya Government to support all the communities in their commercial ventures, particularly those who have not historically been active in business and commerce. I assure the hon. Member that there was no skewed demolition. If you take statistics, they affected everybody from every corner of this country. The good news is that, that dark chapter is behind us. It will not happen again because the Government will not allow any more illegal constructions to be made."
