    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is not improper because the matter has already been concluded and a ruling was delivered. So, I am making my comments based on the ruling that was delivered. I have a problem with the Ministry of Local Government, in which the City Council of Nairobi falls, and the Ministry of Education. A matter was filed in court vide Case No.1475 of 2005 by the trustees of this school, the Shree Visa Oshwal Community, about seven years ago. This is a public school and there was no representation from both Ministries. The Ministry of Local Government and the Ministry of Education never sent representation. I have a copy of the ruling, which I wish to table, which was delivered by Justice Nambuye. On page 3 of the ruling there is a remark, which I request you to allow me to read. The defendants, who are the City Council of Nairobi, filed a replying affidavit to that application, but they did not attend the inter parties hearing. The court, being satisfied that they had due notice, allowed the plaintiffs to proceed with ex parte hearing. The clarification I am seeking from both Ministries is that we want to have an assurance that such things will not arise again in future. We want to know what action the Government is going to take against corrupt education officers in the legal departments of these two Ministries, because they failed to send representatives to court to defend this public school. That is an explanation we want; we want the Government to explain that before this House, because these Ministers are just used to giving us verbal promises."
