    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to comment on this Petition. Very decent people live in Kibera and I have friends there. There are a few gangs that have made that place a “banana republic”. You will be surprised to see a broom hanging on an electric wire. Do not touch it. That is not a broom. That is what they normally use for illegal connections of electricity. That broom has a live electric wire passing through it into the House. It is that bad. The problem with this is not the people who are doing the illegal connections, but the ones who block those who want legal connections from doing so. That is where they miss the point. Even decent Kenyans who want to have a decent life are forced by gangsters to go the wrong way because they are threatened. Therefore, it will be a worthy thing for this Parliament, through the Committee, to bring sanity to that area. Those people want to live a decent life especially now that we have tarmac roads, good toilets and street lighting by the Jubilee Government. You can only imagine how it used to be like before the street lights came. It is just a small thing that is left out and Kibera will be a safe place like any other in Nairobi. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
