"content": "We do not know where the boundaries of riparian lands are. They are six metres in certain areas and 60 metres in others. The people who are demolishing houses are going back to demolish further in areas that were initially marked as the boundaries. It seems somebody somewhere is revising those riparian lands and increasing those portions. This will lead to massive loss of property and many people will become homeless. We should halt those demolitions for a moment, until we have a bipartisan agreement and discussion within the multi-agencies that are concerned with this matter here in Nairobi City County. Otherwise, the destruction will be on a devastating level. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."

"content": "Ruaraka, ODM): This is it. Hon. Speaker, you are seasoned. That is why wisdom without measure has been dispensed from your mouth. One of the troubling issues is that there is this Gazette Notice No. 14891, that is signed by the President of the Republic of Kenya, establishing something called the Nairobi Rivers Commission. It purports to act under the Climate Change Act, and the National Environment Management Authority Act. We know that the President has no power to make law in this country. A gazette notice is law. That delegated legislation must be brought to the House. Even if it does, those pieces of legislation have given the Cabinet Secretary powers to make delegated legislation. It is not for the President to make that decision. The issues that Hon. Mwago is talking about are spearheaded by that Commission, whose constitutionality and the legality by which it moves we want to establish."

The Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) is managing and controlling the demolitions in Eastern and all the parts of Nairobi. Why would the KDF, which is concerned with issues in Baringo and Turkana, come to demolish things in Nairobi? This issue traverses Westlands and goes all the way to Eastlands. Only those of us in the ghettos are suffering. Hon. Speaker, I know that you do not come from Runda. People in Lavington and Runda are not affected. My whole constituency has been obliterated. I do not know whether I am a Member of any constituency as I stand here. The whole of Ruaraka will be gone if people demolish 60 metres. I will not have anybody to represent in this House."
