    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Pursuant to Standing Order No.48(1), I rise to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Devolved Government and Intergovernmental Relations regarding the allegation of misuse of funds and the ongoing chaos at the Nairobi City County Government. In the Statement, the Committee should - (1) Outline any measures it has put in place to verify claims made on the misuse of funds at the Nairobi City County Government, given that it collects up to Kshs10.1 billion in revenue. (2) State the measures it is putting in place to investigate claims that taxpayers’ money has been used by the county leadership on dubious travels. (3) State the plans, if any, being put in place to try and bring back sanity in the county government. Mr. Speaker, Sir, due to the gravity and urgency of this matter, I request that you give guidance pertaining timelines. In Nairobi City County, we seem to be in limbo and things are not moving because there are chaos in the county government. We can see new things coming up in the media every day. Therefore, I seek your indulgunce to give guidance. Mr. Speaker, Sir, since this issue also pertains misuse of taxpayers’ money, if the Chairman of the Standing Committee on Devolved Government and Intergovernmental Relations would involve the County Public Accounts and Investments Committee (CPAIC), because it is a cross-cutting matter. This will bring sanity in Nairobi City County and ensure that Nairobians continue to get services. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
