    "content": "Last week, I appeared before the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights of this House and presented my thoughts on how I think Nairobi City should be run, which should be completely different from how we should run the other 46 counties. I argued that you cannot propose rural solutions for urban problems. What Sen. Sakaja has raised this afternoon is one of the issues that I felt needed to be considered separately, apart from what we consider when doing revenue allocation for all the 47 counties. Although the entire leadership of Nairobi City County, led by the Governor, has had a few choice “superlatives” to describe it, I do not mind if, in the long run, we finally get a solution to the challenges that continue to bedevil this City. This is a city that belongs to all of us. The uniqueness is that all the 46 counties have their residents living in this City, working and investing here and having their businesses being operationalised from here. Therefore, I support this move by Sen. Sakaja. I hope that the Committee that will retreat to make its considerations on how to resolve these issues will finally present to us a way for better management of this City."
