Seneta wa Nairobi, Sen. Sifuna sisi pia wakati mwingine tunaelewa majukumu ya Serikali Kuu na serikali za ugatuzi. Ukweli ni ukweli na hauwezi kubadilika. Kwa hivyo, hivyo ndivyo ilivyo. Kwa maktaba kuu ambayo ofisi yangu iko pale kama Waziri wa Jinsia, Utamaduni, Sanaa na Urithi, nataka niseme ya kwamba tumekuwa na mazungumzo ya kutosha na ya kina pamoja na Baraza la Magavana na tuna makubaliano ambayo tunaenda kuafikiana. Hii ni kwa sababu ya yale niliyotangulia kuyasema, kwamba, maktaba kuu za kitaifa zinahifadhi kumbukumbu nyingi za masuala ya kitaifa. Kwa hivyo, tuko na maktaba tatu, sio Maktaba Kuu pekee yake. Hapa Nairobi tuko na Maktaba Kuu, Maktaba ya Buruburu na ya Nakuru Kaunti ambazo bado ziko katika mikono ya Serikali kuu chini ya Wizara hii ya Jinsia, Utamaduni, Sanaa na Urithi. Kwa hivyo, mazungumzo bado yanaendelea. Leo siwezi nikakupa jibu mwafaka ya kwamba wiki ijayo tutaenda kuwachilia huduma hii muhimu iwe katika mikono ya serikali ya Kaunti ya Nairobi. Lakini, punde tu tutakapo afikiana, labda nitarudi hapa kuwapa ripoti kamili.

I want to ask the Cabinet Secretary a question. As she has rightly said, the function of the library is devolved, but it has not been followed to satisfaction. As the Chair of Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations, the employees have been experiencing salary problems. It is only in this financial year that the funds were released, but they were partly released. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, before I ask the Cabinet Secretary the question, the situation in the libraries is pathetic. Most of the libraries in the counties are not well equipped and they are poorly staffed. The functions are devolved, but the counties do not have the funding for those libraries. The books are not there and it is the right of every Kenyan to acquire knowledge from those libraries. Is there any plan for the National Library to release books or to keep those libraries? This is because most of the staff have not even reported up to now, especially in my place. I am asking the Cabinet Secretary whether all the staff have been released to the county government or they are still remaining in the national Government. In the past, we used to have mobile libraries. In my place, we used to use camels to take the books to far-fetched pastoral areas. However, that thing is not there anymore. What are the plans for the establishment of mobile libraries? Are the mobile libraries still devolved and are they still there? Additionally, are there plans to release more librarians to the counties? I thank you."},{"id":1403579,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1403579/?format=json","text_counter":226,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Sen.
