"content": "On the second element of his answer, I am surprised he says that they have fulfilled the agreement they have made with the matatu operators. I have met the matatu operators. They are consistently harassed by police and askaris who demand bribes from them. They are consistently detained for variously trivial misdemeanour and other matters. They have constantly reported this to the various Ministries that were involved in this agreement, including the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry in charge of police, as well as the City Council and the Local Government."

The Muthurwa commuter hub is where all the matatus from the Eastlands drop and pick their passengers. Thousands of people come into Nairobi everyday using that route. If you see the appalling condition in which it is, he would not have said this is a matter that we are thinking of something about. It is a matter of urgency. It is important to our city’s economy, as well as the movement of population in and outside Nairobi. Therefore, I would like to get clarifications from him, especially what he means by he is not aware. Is this the Government of His Excellency Mwai Kibaki, or is it another Government?"

"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister said that they consulted both organizations and they were told that there is no strike coming. When the Ministerial Statement was sought, one of the issues, which was given for the strike was the issue of cost of fuel. The letter to His Excellency the President is very clear. They are calling this strike for eight days, effective from 19th to 27th December. So, I am just curious when he says he consulted. Who did he consult? These are letters written to his boss, or the appointing authority. Is that he has no access, or perhaps, the office did not deem it necessary to inform the relevant authorities? What is exactly happening in the Government? Have they become so immune to strikes even if COTU and matatus threaten them with strikes, they no longer care because there is ongoing strike called by doctors? Have they become immune to strikes? What is happening to the Government?"

The fact that he says he is not aware surprises me most because even a child in this country is aware. Is he planning to enrich a few people on the days the matatus go on strike?"
