    "content": "I will speak very shortly. I support this Report. The Transition Authority is one of the mainstays of devolution. However, we are finding that although part of the transition Bills states that no local authority shall sell property, I was astounded to see the Kisumu County Council advertising a property for sale. I raised the issue with the then Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government, Mr. Mudavadi and he seemed to have ignored our pleas. I have taken up the matter now with the Acting Minister who has now informed me that he has stopped that sale. At the same time, I want to bring to the attention of the House that Mombasa, Eldoret, Nairobi and other local authorities are in the process of illegally transfering assets. Whether it is a 30-year lease or a one-year lease, it is illegal. With those few remarks, I support the Motion."
