    "content": "Thank you, very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for allowing me this opportunity. I would like to make a special request on behalf of most residents of Nairobi who live in the informal settlements. I want to appeal for relief food particularly for those in the informal settlements of Kawangware, Githurai, Soweto and Congo because they are facing very hard ‘Maraga’ times. Since the Supreme Court declared its ruling of the Presidential elections most businesses have not been operating and many factories have closed. Even in this town most casual workers are going without jobs and there is a general problem in Nairobi of people being unable to put food on the table. I therefore, appeal to CS Kiunjuri, who is in charge of Devolution and Planning to consider all Nairobi informal settlements for relief food. You could see this clearly in the streets of Nairobi when NASA supporters were demonstrating because they go to town on empty stomachs. I appeal to the leaders of NASA to first feed their people before they unleash them to the streets of Nairobi. We are also appealing to leaders from other counties like Mombasa who are congregating in Nairobi to bring disruption to trade and businesses to keep off. We will not take this lying down. We have asked all our business people to report any losses, breakages and theft to the Central Police Station. We are engaging our lawyers from next week to demand for compensation of properties which have been stolen and destroyed. As we go on short recess, I urge the Members to preach peace in their constituencies and it is important that the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
