    "content": "Consequently, we have been put in a different category, which endangers our standing. Therefore, these international bodies can even claim that they cannot be in a city where their health is not assured. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what the national Government has done, although it might have some legal loopholes where people--- I am not a lawyer, and I do not want to say it is okay if it is not. What I know is that laws are made for the comfort of the people and not for the people to suffer. What has happened now is good for the Nairobians, our international friends and for investments. Since we do not have enough jobs for our young people, we need investors to come in, so that we can create job opportunities. We cannot have our cake and eat it. Yes, Nairobi had been mismanaged. If I am asked, I would say that maybe we should be like Washington DC and other cities like that. But if we can get a good manager to manage a county, it can run. The question is that we find out too late and do not have much time to gamble with. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let us always first look for the welfare of the people, because the people want to have medicines and not heaps of garbage. They want a clean City, water, sewerage and everything done to perfection, because Nairobi is not one of those cities that we do not want to mention. Nairobi is a City where we are trying to get international companies and agencies to make it their hub. Kenyans are trying very hard, but then somebody somewhere is not delivering. We must refuse corruption."
