    "content": ".: First, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank Sen. Sakaja for his statement about the status of Nairobi County. As we speak, Nairobi has lost its status because of the mess we have. Secondly, the mess in Nairobi is not the mess of Sen. Sakaja. We, as the Senate under Article 96, must take charge and make sure that this city is running like any other county. We have that obligation, and it is not Sen. Sakaja’s alone. We work in unison and we work as a collegiate. Therefore, the Committee on Devolved Government and Intergovernmental Relations and the Committee on Finance and Budget must intervene. Sen. Sakaja, on the question of a special audit under Article 229, if you notify the Committee on Finance and Budget, we can request for a special audit. There is nothing more required. Lastly, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Section 6(6)(5) of the Urban Areas and Cities Act states that:- “Subject to Section 2, the two levels of Government shall enter into an agreement regarding the performance of functions and delivery of services by the capital city.” I want to underline the words ‘shall enter’. I witnessed the statement made by His Excellency the President about the hiring of youth to collect garbage in Nairobi. Sen. Sakaja, the law requires that there shall be an agreement in the city, between the national Government and the county government. This is a city where there are offices of diplomatic missions. We want to see the agreement between President Uhuru Kenyatta The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
