"content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. My question is very closely related to what Sen. Mungatana has alluded to in his opening remarks. Article 187 of the Constitution is very clear on the transfer of functions from one level of Government to another. One of the requirements of that Article is that when that transfer is going to take place, then arrangements shall be put in place to ensure that the resources necessary for the performance of the function or exercise of the power are transferred. I want to know whether Article 187 of the Constitution was invoked in the transfer of this function from the County Government of Nairobi to the Ministry of Defence, and whether the County Government of Nairobi transferred the resources necessary for that function to the Ministry of Defence to undertake that function."

"content": "I agree with him that Article 243(3) (b) of the Constitution provides for that. It allows KDF when called upon, particularly in an emergency like what is happening now in parts of Tana River, Garissa, and Lamu to come in and assist citizens. We did that during the El Nino. In fact, today, we have heard that all the dams are overflowing. We expect, in the next four days, a lot of flooding in Garissa, Tana River and Lamu to be very specific. I agree with him. Of course, in concurrence with the Commander-in-Chief, there are many things that we will do. Like in other countries, we are thinking of establishing a formal and a legally construction industrial company within KDF, where they can be sent to remote parts in secure regions, to construct roads, dams and build schools. So, the Defence Council is working on that to make sure that we have a specific department on construction, just like in other countries, for example, the United States of America (USA) and Egypt. This is so that where contractors cannot reach because of the terrain or insecurity, the military have a wing that can do national projects. We are going to work with the leadership of Garissa, Tana River and Lamu. We are working with them now in the Boni enclave to make sure that terrorists do not cross from Somalia into our country. On the question by the Senator for Kitui, Sen. Wambua, Article 187 is very specific on transfer of functions. Whether it was done procedurally, or due process was not followed, it was done by the previous administration. I want to assure you that Governor Sonko's issue on the creation of the Nairobi Metropolitan Service (NMS) and any other organ outside the Constitution will never be created under the administration led by Hon. William Ruto. That will never happen. I came to office in September, 2022. We found the Park and our business was to make sure, as Senator Nairobi said, that we complete the Park and hand over. As a former Member of Parliament (MP), this House has an obligation through its Committees, to go and find out why Article 187 was violated by the previous leadership. I do not think I can carry myself. I was not part and parcel of those who violated Article 187 in those days. Thank you."

Kama mwakilishi wa Mombasa, je, tunaweza kupata huduma kama zile zilizoko katika Kaunti ya Nairobi? Kunaweza kuwa na marekebisho ama ukarabati ili kurejesha nidhamu? Kuna changamoto kubwa ambayo inatukabili kule Mombasa. Kuna jamii za watu wanaorandaranda ambazo zinaongeza idadi ya utovu wa usalama katika mji wetu. Labda tukipewa fursa, tunaomba mje pale mturekebishie ili kuwe na nidhamu kwa sababu imekuwa kero kwa wananchi wa Mombasa pale Uhuru Gardens na Makadara Grounds. Je, tunaweza kufanyiwa ukarabati wa bustani zetu? Vile vile, ningependa kukuomba kwa sababu unahusika katika sekta ya usalama. Tafadhali mtafute mbinu ya kushirikiana na Gavana wetu wa Mombasa ili watu wapate makazi mazuri.
