  In spite of the recorded growth, there were more slums coming up, said Mr Tom Aosa, the national chairman of the CBOs said.
  
  "This was one of the set goals, but incidentally slums are coming up on a monthly basis," he said.
  
  Aosa said the Government was not committed to achieving the goals despite the impressive growth in the economy.
  ...
  On the slums upgrading project, Aosa claimed the initiative was meant to benefit a few rich people.Slum dwellers could not afford the rent charges projected by the Government for them to use the houses.
  
  "What will happen is that the slum dwellers will move to another area, thus creating a new slum," he said.
  
  He added that the Government was failing in the war against HIV/Aids, because since 2004, "we no longer see billboards and newspapers adverts on the scourge, a move that is worrying."

  Mr Tom Aosa, the Community Based Organisations Council national chairman, said on Wednesday: "Parliament should re-convene as a matter of urgency.The crisis is creating a deeper ethnic dimension."
  
  Aosa said Parliament was the only institution that could seal a peace package brokered between President Kibaki and ODM leader, Mr Raila Odinga, by former United Nations Secretary-General, Mr Kofi Annan.
  ...
  Aosa argued that should a power-sharing option be agreed on, it should be based on a legal framework.
  
  This, he added, could only be achieved through Parliament since the Constitution was silent on such an eventuality.
  
  "Should there be need to create a constitutional office or strengthen the existing ones, Parliament is the only institution mandated by the Constitution to do so," said Aosa.

  ...
  The Nairobi CBO chairman, Tom Aosa said if the government fails to address the controversial wildlife export to Thailand in two days it will seek legal redress on the issue.
  
  Aosa also disclosed that the government has yet to respond to a letter CBOs wrote six months ago requesting for more light to be shed on the wildlife deal.
  
  He said that in absence of this, the CBOs is left with the option of seeking legal redress to ensure that Kenya's wildlife are not subjected to inhuman treatment in Thailand.
  
  Aosa said the CBOs have many options to force the government rescind its decision of sending animals to Thailand, a country, he said was known for its poor treatment of wildlife.
  
  On the Cabinet, Aosa said the president failed to meet Kenyans' expectations in his recent Cabinet appointment as most of the appointed leaders lacked integrity and professionalism.
  ...
  National chairman, Tom Aosa, said the agreement reached by President Kibaki and Thai premier Thaksin Shinawatra during his visit was an insult to Kenya's heritage.
  ...
  Aosa said the council was undertaking research on how exported wild animals kept in the Chiang Mai Night Safari Park were faring.
  
  Preliminary findings, he claimed, show unethical treatment of animals in Thailand zoos.
  
  "The preliminary research findings we have stumbled upon provide crucial bits of information on the unethical treatment of animals in Thailand zoos, including the sale of the same to individuals," said Aosa.
  
  He urged the Government to hear the pleas of the people who have rejected the deal.

  And the chairman of the Community-Based Organisations (CBO), Mr Tom Aosa, accused Parliament of introducing dictatorship in the country.
  
  Aosa said freedom of information was not solely meant to benefit the media, but the public whom it serves.
  
  "It is only President Kibaki who can save us from this hell hole that Parliament wants to plunge us into by refusing to assent it into law," Aosa said.
  
  Aosa said journalists would be incapacitated as far as investigative work into corruption deals was concerned because the Bill would require that their sources be exposed, thereby deterring informers.
  
  He was bitter that the clause would dilute news content and endanger the lives of whistle-blowers.
  
  At the same time, he said the Government was becoming notorious for trying to guide the operations of institutions that include churches and NGOs through legislation.
