From what our colleagues have said, they and their relatives have been there for more than 50 years. As you know, the longer you stay in a place, you develop a lot of attachment. Madaraka Estate here in Nairobi was owned by the Nairobi City Council those days. Along the way, National Housing Corporation (NHC) and Nairobi City Council had issues and they sold to the owners.

I believe the people of Buxton expected the houses to be sold to them. The Kenya Kwanza Government is going to do affordable houses and more highrise buildings, maybe 10 or 15 floors. Since those cannot be sold to one to one person, let us give then an opportunity.

Mombasa County Government now has a new Governor. The residents need to re-negotiate because maybe the outgoing Governor did not listen to them. As the Petitioners, county Government and the Governor, are invited to the Senate, we should deal with this issue speedily, so that our people do not continue suffering. I support.

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my comments are on the last three Statements. One, by the time employees are paid their gross salary, which includes Pay As You Earn (PAYE) which is a statutory deduction, National Security Fund (NSSF), National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) and pension, it is part of the salary.

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wish to thank the Senate Majority Leader and Sen. Omogeni for initiating the mediation. Thank you for accepting to meet them.

If there are any controversial communications, it will be good for the leadership to consult if possible and maybe discuss, before coming to the Floor of the House. Finally, the Senator for Kirinyaga County said he has some issues.
