    "content": "opportunity to be able to support a fiducial responsibility to ensure that the people of Nairobi continue benefitting from the services. Looking at Article 187 of the Constitution, it clearly states that the constitutional responsibility still lies on the county government. I thought that this matter would not have committed two Committees of this House. I was not here, but I was watching the proceedings. I would really beseech you to reconsider that decision made from your Chair so that we can have a form of continuity. If we now drag and try to get into a matter which we really do not have a role in, we will be seen as if we are trying to compete with an institution which has been tasked to do so. The procedures have been put in place. Someone once said, when something has been overtaken by events, we should now see how best we can support the citizens of Nairobi to get services, but not try to use this House as a way to stop or impede some form of justice. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would support what the Senate Minority Leader had said. Let me leave us with one quote that says: “Sometimes vanity can easily overtake wisdom.” So, let us not allow that to happen. Let us proceed further."
