The Kenyan MPs have never been this dramatic. They have boldly paint out the interests they serve. That is their own vested interest rather than of the Mwananchi who placed them in their positions.
I think one of the qualities that one must possess to flourish in Kenya political landscape is that one must have the ability to camouflage.
Apart from just beating the odds and refusing to save the mwananchi from the burden , they are in to adding more pain and more burdens.
At this rate they can even auction the citizens just to get some cash in their pockets.
A section of MPs now want the dam near Seefar Apartments at Highrise Estate along Mbagathi Way destroyed in a bid to save the residential buildings saying it has been abandoned and no longer useful.
Speaking during a hearing session with the Parliamentary Committee on Environment, the legislators, led by Kipkellion West MP Hillary Kosgey and his Mathioya counterpart Peter Kihara said that the dam, which is now a sewer will affect many households health wise and not just those residing at Seefar Apartments.
This comes after the Water Resources Management Authority (WARMA) in conjunction with the National Environmental Management Authority National Environmental Management Authority (NEMA) issued a 30-day demolition notice saying the property was on the riparian land of both Nairobi Dam and Ngong River.
NEMA insists that the owners and residents of the 288-unit property should vacate arguing that if the rains come, the dam will burst and lives will be lost.
“Our position on this issue in 2011 and today has not changed. If the developer had complied with conditions, we would not be here,” said NEMA Director General Geoffrey Wahungu.
The residents have however rubbished the claims stating that NEMA has not conducted any investigations concerning the houses.
Do you think the MPs understand the importance of preserving water sources?
