    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Fair Administrative Action Bill purposely for one reason. Within this capital city of Nairobi, we have realized that there are various demolitions of licensed businesses. You find that people come at night, demolish structures and in the early morning you find that the structures are not there and the materials have been taken away. This has been an awkward situation where the affected have not been given a single right to be heard. I support this Bill purposely because it states very clearly that there is room to redress and for any administrator who might take such an action, the affected person has a right to redress in person even without being represented by a single lawyer. I also support it in the area of evictions. We have realized that there are many evictions. You find that in Nairobi, some areas are informal settlements but you find that decisions are made to evict these people without notice. You find that those families have been displaced without being given a single opportunity to be heard. That is very rude. It is very humane to make sure that every human being is heard and given enough notice so that somebody can remove his property and move away.
