    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support Sen. Sakaja on this Statement. This is not the first time that the Senator has brought this issue to this House. This is either the second or the third time. It is actually the third time. I ask that this matter be treated as urgent. It has come to this House for the third time with no tangible results. We all live in Nairobi and it is our right to have the representation that is stated in the law. We are supposed to have a governor and a deputy governor in Nairobi. That is in the law. Therefore, Governor Sonko cannot hold Nairobi City County at ransom by not appointing a deputy governor. It is a requirement of the law and it is a right of all those who stay in Nairobi to have this kind of administration to run the County. I have seen Gov. Sonko helping people in other counties. That could be a noble idea but how do you run to help others when you are not sorting out your own county in terms of the leadership that is required? What happens to a County that has no deputy governor and has issues with the speaker? It is time for us to take measures and intervene through the relevant Committee. It is time for Gov. Sonko to be summoned before the relevant Committee of this House to explain the reason why he is derailing Nairobi County by not appointing a deputy governor. I urge that you direct that the Committee urgently handles this matter for us to bring it to a conclusion."
