Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg for the second time to ask the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government, the following Question by Private Notice.

I want him to clarify the fate of slum dwellers in Nairobi. About 50 per cent of inhabitants in my constituency do not have proper documents to their land.

In fact, my constituents and I, are totally loyal to him.

This programme has generated a lot of interest in people in our constituencies. Could the Prime Minister consider interchanging the groups? The group that serves for two months can be replaced by another group for, say, another two months, so that the vacancies can benefit more people.
