Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, I wish to state here that the issue relating to the cemetery was actually tabled here by the joint Committee. The matter was ruled as sub judice . It was not debated because it is alive in court. That is what happened on the Floor of this House. The Speaker made such a ruling. So, it is not that anybody has been keeping that particular report away.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this other accusation here is completely unfounded, false and it has no substance. The issue of somebody purporting to collect money to bring to me or asking for money to bring to me over a market in Makadara is totally false. It is something that we cannot take on record as being substantive.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will table them, in accordance with Standing Order No.80, so that they can be looked at. We seek your guidance on this matter because, clearly, if it is debated, this will be prejudicial. There will not be a fair hearing for those who have been accused in the matter.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the document contains Anti-Corruption Case No.19 of 2010, Anti-Corruption Case No.20 of 2010, Anti-Corruption Case No.44 of 2010 and High Court Petition No.156 of 2011. The document also lists the accused persons and the charges that have been levelled against each particular individual. It also gives the status of the cases. Some cases are ongoing while others, of course, are being challenged through various legal technicalities. The document is in a summary form. I want you to look at it and give guidance.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, with your indulgence, let me say that I hope that hon. Karua enjoyed herself in the land of Mirembe. I beg to reply. (a) I cannot consider granting a waiver of interest and penalties on land rates by defaulters owning property within the City Council of Nairobi. Waiver of interest and penalties is only granted when the Council, through a council resolution, requests me to approve a waiver for a certain period. The Council has not requested for approval of waiver as stipulated in Section 16 of Cap.267. (b) Given the above facts, the waiver cannot be ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me just point out that the level of compliance for various councils is varied. Indeed, there are a number of municipalities or local authorities that have asked for a waiver. With the relevant resolutions, we have granted that. In fact, for Nairobi City Council, I would like to point out that the last waiver was granted from the month of October to December, 2009. This waiver was made public for all rate payers and, indeed, some residents took advantage of it, paid their rates and got a waiver of the penalties. I would like to suggest ...
