    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the answer is totally misleading and I want to table a letter from one of the residents of Kyang’ombe/Maasai Villages which clearly shows that the residents, who had permanent and semi-permanent houses, had been paying the requisite fees to the City Council. It is, therefore, totally misleading to claim that they were not settled there by any authority. It takes time to build a semi-permanent or permanent house. Why did the Government wait until those residents had put up their houses only to go and demolish them? If Mr. Deputy Speaker allows me I will read one paragraph of this letter which says:- “It must be stated that we have noted with great concern that the properties on which we reside and pay for are now being occupied by Chinese immediately upon demolition of our structures. How come, if the premises were needed for security purposes, foreigners have taken them over? Could the Government come out clean and say that it has declared war on its citizens?”"
