• 24 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wanted to raise the issue relating to a Statement that I had requested from the Government on the demolitions that are taking place in my constituency. It was raised first on Tuesday and yesterday, it was also raised by the Speaker. At that moment, the Minister of Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs had agreed that the Government will come back with the Statement today. I just wanted to know about the status of that Statement. view
• 24 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I regret the statement, given the fact that this is a matter of urgency. Demolitions are taking place, people are being displaced and made homeless, the suffering and the pain of the people of Kamukunji continues. I think Thursday is just too far.

There is more suffering and pain in the streets of Eastleigh South.

• 22 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to bring to your attention the massive demolition exercise which is taking place in Eastleigh South in an area adjacent to the Eastleigh Air Force Base in my constituency. Many high rise buildings have been razed to the ground; thousands of people made homeless and millions lost in property and household belongings. Besides, many of the tenants who were at work when the demolitions began had no security or protection and many of their belongings have been looted and they have lost everything. view
• 22 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the exercise is being carried out in a brutal, inhumane and undignified manner. It is not something that you see in a democratic society. view
• 22 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: These are buildings that were approved and built by the permission of the Nairobi City Council (NCC) and all the landlords have paid their taxes to date.
