    "content": "Hon. Members, this is Petition No. 8/2016. It is conveyance of a Petition to the National Assembly on alleged illegal, unlawful, corrupt and criminal activities in Kibra slums. Hon. Members, in accordance with the provisions of Standing Order No.225(2)(b), I wish to convey to the House that my office is in receipt of a Petition signed by one, Ms. Zubeida Waziri regarding illegal, unlawful, corrupt and criminal activities in the slums of Kibra. Hon. Members, in her Petition, she highlights illegal electricity and water connections, the supply and sale of illicit brews and drugs and the existence of many unlicensed businesses and premises in the area. The Petitioner also avers that the said criminal activities have become a norm and are acceptable by the community, thereby making the wanton state of anarchy and impunity difficult to resolve. Hon. Members, the Petitioner prays that the National Assembly, through the relevant departmental committee:- (i) Recommends and ensures the immediate disconnection of illegal electricity and water connections. (ii) Recommends and ensures closure of all businesses operating without valid licences or those operating illegal businesses. (iii) Recommends that other relevant bodies investigate this matter and take action against any public officer found culpable or allowing the state of anarchy to persist. (iv) Make any other order or direction that it deems fit in the circumstances of the case."
