    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister knows that this is not the only issue that surrounds areas that have been developed with approval from the council which then later rejects its approval and leaves the residents to fend for themselves. What is happening in Kisumu is also happening here in Nairobi at the Kenyatta Market, where people were given permission to build. So, they took loans but now, the Council is saying that it is not its responsibility. The Ministry is one among the two that has executive authority. The Ministry has executive authority over the council. So, I am wondering how you can take away responsibility from the council and from the Ministry for livelihoods of people who are paying loans. All those people who are selling food are business people and they have taken loans. Those loans were approved by banks meaning that there was due process followed. So, there is no way that this Assistant Minister can say that those people should seek redress somewhere else, when this is an executive Ministry that oversees councils. They must take responsibility. Could he be clear as to where the redress should be and not to leave it to the goodwill of other institutions?"
