Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to ask the Minister what measures he is taking in order to avert the matatu operators strike, which is likely to paralyse public transport in the city, and which is likely to cause serious economic damage and human suffering.

Thank you Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am following up on an undertaking that was made by the Government last week that it would issue a Statement on the demolitions and forced evictions that are taking place in Nairobi. I think it was the Attorney-General’s Office that was given that responsibility.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am a bit concerned that, perhaps, the Government is not giving the urgency and importance the subject demands because we do not know whether these demolitions will continue. There is a large number of people who have been forcibly moved from their homes and are in the open. I think it is important that they address this issue urgently.

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.

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. We will be presenting with a fait accompli of the report of how many houses have been demolished rather than addressing the humanitarian crisis that has been created by the demolitions the Government is undertaking at the moment.
