Committee annual opportunities. I understand my city of Nairobi. For many years, our city has been on a free for, especially following 1992 elections when the ruling party then lost grip of the capital. And so there’s been a lot of systemic decline in our city over those years, whether it is in matters of land, in matters of fiduciary, you know, issues. And so when I took this task, I knew what was going to face and what is ahead of me, as you’ve seen from 2013 to 2018, Nairubi has been getting disclaim opinions. It’s been a mess from 2018 to 22 has been also equally a problem. But are you faced with such a task? What do you do? Is someone the best that you can put together? Of course, you believe in good, but you must have a plan or not to sort out this city. This city will be sorted out by ourselves. And that’s what I keep telling my team. It is true.
Most of the stuff in this, in the county, apart from the chief officers, and not all chief of, some chief officers had even been there and I promoted them. But apart from chief officials, see season advisors, most of the staff have been left. Just this weekend, there was a Celebration of Team 89 instructed officers who joined in 1989.
And many us are there some of it that five years ago to bring change. There is no instant thing you can do. It is an ideal situation, but there is no magic want that is waived to change a city like Nairobi.
But I’m happy that I can be able to track progress that we’ve made, significant in many areas, whether it is in healthcare chain health care, we have, you know, things that are never been seen before. Nairobi had no ICU. Kenya is what you should be seen as. I see we have now more than 1 intensive care units. They lives at pumani, last worked to an Osborne. Now they are backwalking. Our ladies can go to theater. We will reduce the position of Cos in our hospitals, and there’s been transformation because we just had boards and medical superdents, medical superdance adopters. And so sometimes they may not look at the holistic nature of running a hospital from the gates to the customer service to supply chain to the issues of human resource to technology. Those changes are taking time, but they’re being felt in 10 years from 2013 to the time I became governor, scholarships and bazzaris in Arabia given of 3 billion. But in less than 10 months, I was able to more than half that. We have given scholarships, ambassadors, 1.88 billion people around the city who had never felt the count. They’re not filled evolution now. I wondering also. Actually my fildan kita pasarin rise iya ini sebegitu nuance entries. Next time saya every time to be. Fast term, 2.5 million, second term, 2 million. Data 1 or 2,4 children in Nairobi were not going to school because of hunger. Most interventions to deal with hunger have been focused in the arid areas. That’s why even the department in the ministry is called nomadic. Piquéson sanzante no. We say it annoy in the Senate that we need to do a feeding program. In fact, I’m very pleased that if you look at the hands are doing. Dan saya membuat body mobil mobil mobil. Wow ruby lebih baik ganggu from the way gue juga doing c less. Then I were able to build 10 kitchens. We able now to feed 1,84,000 children every single day at five shillings. We’ve been able to get significant support towards that program. School enrollment has gone up from 250,000 to 310,000 just in the second phase of the school feeding program. In the third phase of that program, chair, we’re going to make sure because we’ve now broken down to another seven kitchens. We’re going to make sure that all children in public schools are fed and then the public schools become satellites to the informal schools after schools. When I say Narubi was on a, you know, three, four, there is no explanation. EROBY has 210 public primary schools, yet we have 17 constituencies, 85 votes. If you look at maybe some of your constituencies in your counties, one constituency might have 100, but how do we sort out that challenge? Do we, seller does not fit these ones because we can’t fit everyone. Today, we increase that enrollment. We’re now building 5,000 classrooms. The national government eh committed and they put one billion. I have. For classrooms. We have put 500 million. And every year, 15 classrooms, meaning by the end of this first time will possibly have left more classrooms than I found when I became governor in aerobie. So check the challenges and numerous. These are city whose last master plan was done in 1976, the last physical master plan of the city following the 1948 Master Plan. We have now good and resources to do the next master plan of the city through the Millennium Challenge Corporation. And also in two weeks, we’re going to be, you know, accompanying the national government of the US enemies tried, made an attempt to do those massive plans, you know, of, you know, new plan is a foundation for planning, but that was not done. We have $60 million now just to do that proper master planning for a city in 12 months. And after that, we secured 700 to 800 million dollars to implement it. A city that had not been planned, looking for, of course, would have the challenges that we see today, that there’s no order. People under in chairman, why is it that their dams are full of water but the order reasoning is going on? And when you try to explain that, very few then understand that, first of all, the water that we receive in Aerobie must be treated through a treatment plant. In fact, because of the rain in Katari Forest and the debris, the Tanya River, our production capacity at Nevo has moved down from 18,700 cubic meters per hour to 17,400. And thus, we’re able to get a noise to go and clear, you know, help us clear that. Because of that lack of planning, chair, as I got to conclude and I’ve taken time, Nairobi had only four sources of this vote that we talk about, three of them done by the colonists. Kikui Springs done 19 o four to 1910,6,000 cubic meters to the city. Ruru Dam done in 1928. Sasumo Dan in 1958. Sixty million liters per day. Those three were done before we got independence. When we got independence, the only project that had been done was not an collector, oh, sorry, was Nakini done between 1994 and 1997, producing 84% of our vote, but it was done with a view of a population of the year 2,002, which was 2 million Arabians. So every day we get 5,25.6 million liters against a demand now that has gone to 900 million liters a day. What have you been able to do within this one year and how many months? One, almost one and half or just slightly above, maybe 20 months to be exact. We were knocked the first project that was being done after that period of Northern Collector 1 to add 1,40 million liters to bridge that gap of water well secured, and that process is now ongoing. A support to do Northern Connector to Amaragufo, which adds to 20 million liters of water. But the next one million liters of water also must be looked at. Our engineers, for instance, have designed one of the programs at Nevo where we lose 30 million liters of water every day because of the filtration system, just at 2 billion, is now going to bring back that 30 million liters, half of Senator Medus in his county, just a 2 billion shillings back into the grid. The future will not plan itself. Yeah, the challenges are there for the city, but the opportunities are there for us. We hope that chair even to engage the senate, my senator, members of parliament, resident associations, there are so many stakeholders that this year with our Vision 2050, we can then now look at Merope by the, at 25th to the population of 10.5 million people. What needs to be done today? Moving battery. So Narubi’s a peculiarity, as you said, I saw a report saying that our revenue is that of 30 count is combined the GDP of Naru is $28 billion. Rwanda’s a country is $11 billion. Burundi as a country is $2 billion. We’re engaging a finances out there saying, look, you can support Nairobi directly. We want to come to you and I give a presentation to the Devolution Committee. Want to come to you on how you can enable us as a county move beyond the limitations of municipal financing that the city needs, unless we get significant financing. It has been raining people talking about drainage, to expand the drainage to the extent that we want is billions of shilling. So unless we can be able to discount our future income, we know for sure we never get less than 20 billion area whether or not to collect on source revenue and affiliate is going up unless you can be able to do that, we’ve gotten transaction advisors. We’ll need the Senate to support us in that process. So yeah, there are many things that I can talk about, but let me not talk about it, but just want a scope. I’ve been resented longer than I’ve been a governor. I’ve been a legislator. Leadership needs bold decisions to be made. You find a situation, you look at it, you address it. While addressing it also, you must make sure you create political stability, you know, for you to be able to implement it. I’m like enemies, whatever. Was there one, eh? We’re not military. We have to work with the people, eh? Then, you know, whatever entity was there was not a threat politically to anyone. No one was trying to pull it down. But now that where we are, and I’m very happy that despite a lot of misinformation that has been out there, the Senate and particularly your committee has been objective enough to look at the issues. I want to conclude by saying that I’m very happy that this notion of idea that the county government on erobie or the government on erobie does not want to be held accountable. I hope that is debacked. Chair, I’ve come to the Senate more than any other governor. This is, today is positive appearance in this financial year, you know, to different and various committees. Out of 15 invites in fact for you said one invite, you know, that was missed or two. We are ready for accountability, being accountable. And I keep telling you, audit is a tool to help the county, but I want moves us to know that none will protect you again. Everybody must answer for themselves. Everybody must hold, you know, must be able to answer for the actions they take, no matter who is your boss. And that is why everybody signs a performance agreement. I have performance contract with my Cecs, the Vinton sign performance contract with the chief officers up until director level. So on to thank you for your cooperation. The Senate really can supports narrow be county in many counties. You know, if governors understand what the true essence of Senate is, I think we can actually make our counties work and we can make narrow block. So thank.
