"content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I will be fast. First, devolution is at crossroads in this country. The signing of the transfer of functions of Nairobi City County was unprocedural, in haste and politically motivated. Secondly, we have heard time and time again that there are mafias in this City. There are land and business cartels that are fighting the governor. The document was crafted fast, and as a lawyer there is what we call vitiating factors. Even if a contract has been made, there comes a time when certain factors or variables may occur to nullify it. If this matter will go to court, this transfer would fall on its face. Examples of vitiating factors are duress, cohesion, influence, illegality, capacity and so forth. We saw His Excellency the President and others, and to my understanding, he ought not to have been there. If this deal was clear, it would have been between the county assembly, the executive and the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Devolution and ASALs. For the President to be there, yet he is the party leader of Gov. Sonko, is influence and nothing else."
