An elected MP allied to opposition coalition NASA has opposed the ongoing demolition of houses on grounds that it is dangerous for the economy.
Nairobi county women representative Esther Passaris said the government decision to demolish houses in Nairobi is scaring away investors.
“The country is going through difficult times since houses constructed by investors are being demolished without following legal procedures. It is time the county government of Nairobi in collaboration with the National government to stop the unnecessary demolition of houses which were constructed after owners received approvals from relevant government agencies to construct the houses,” she noted.
Passaris challenged elected leaders to work around the clock and serve the electorates as by the campaign promises.
“This is not the time for politics. Elected leaders should be ready for criticism from opponents since they will remain awake for the next five years to serve the electorates,” she added.
Passaris urged Kenyans to shun leaders who will be out to divide them across tribal lines.
The MP challenged youths to work hard in the society to better their lives.
She was speaking on Saturday at Eldoret Sports Club, Uasin Gishu County.
