    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, you got me very well. We hold your seat in reverence; we think this is a sovereign House where matters are dealt with soberly. We would not want charlatans and cartels to come and haggle before you. We want to sit as a sober House, capable of making resolutions that are legally enforceable and binding to all parties. My suggestion would be that, as a House, we should find guidance in law and the Constitution to set up a select Committee to deal with Nairobi. We need to look at all the challenges that have been itemised by the very good brother, Sen. Sakaja. Some of them fall within legal purviews; others are governance and many others. In this House, we have a leadership that is experienced and knowledgeable in various areas. It reflects skills, talents, diversity of gender and religion. Therefore, your wisdom can guide the House to put up this galaxy of leadership. We can have a sitting where various stakeholders in Nairobi, including other elected leaders, can proffer their suggestions which will be processed and yield something workable. However, if a mere invitation is sent to the Governor of Nairobi City County, the cartels might come a long with him. I am sure there are cartels working against his interest and others working for his interest. The spectacle of cartels arguing before us is one that Sen. Sakaja has not envisaged. So, I suggest to him and the Senate Majority Leader to think of how to constitute a committee to specifically look at the problems that Nairobi County has, The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
