    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank the Assistant Minister for his answer. However, he has not answered the Question as to why this is in contravention of the transition to Devolved Governments Act of 2012, which was in effect as from 30th March, 2012. I brought this matter to the Minister well in time. Why was it still thought the council property must be sold in contravention of that particular Act? Furthermore, the Minister has said he is not aware of any other city council including Nairobi, Eldoret and Mombasa. It is in public domain that properties are being leased out for 20 years by councilors, the municipal council and the city councilors. The 20 year lease or even a two year lease is tantamount to sale. So, I am not very clear as to what the Assistant Minister has said. He has said that it is within the authority of the Minister while it is clearly not. The transition to Devolved Government was designed so that no property shall be sold in the transitional period. Why is the Assistant Minister misleading us now?"
