"content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity to also contribute to this very important Motion. I want to thank the Mover of the Motion, Dr. Wilbur Ottichilo, for thinking in this direction and in a long-term way. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we know very well that failure to plan is actually planning to fail; we all know that information is very important on anything. We need information in a developing country like Kenya on all sectors and aspects of whatever activities are going on including the lives of Kenyans. So, the Motion is a very important one, if we are to achieve some of the targets that we have set ourselves to achieve like the Vision 2030 and beyond. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have talked about whether there is planning in the country, but I would even like to go further and say that the planning we have by the Ministry of Planning, National Development and Vision 2030 which deals with the overall planning--- We should now even go further and say that there should be a strong recommendation that all sectors, departments and Ministries should have an element of planning. This is so that every aspect of planning that goes on can be brought down to the very small units. This is so that planning can start from the bottom rather than just coming up with ideas which are implemented without proper planning. This planning should even be in the stock exchange market which deals with selling of shares. The reason why we have had problems of people losing their money, for example, in Safaricom Limited, has been because of lack of proper information by those who were dealing in the shares. At the moment, we have got a Committee which is dealing with what took place in the country recently and is ongoing in some places. It involves Syokimau, Eastleigh and so on. It means that structures were put there without adequate consultation and planning. We learnt yesterday at one of the Committee meetings that the land around the airport, including Syokimau and so on, was gazetted in 1971 and allocated to the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) for the expansion of the airport. You can imagine what has happened after that. Whoever was issuing title deeds was doing so because he or she did not have adequate information. We did not have a place where somebody could access information very quickly. If the poor people who are losing their property and so on had information that this area had been annexed for the expansion of the airport, maybe they would not have ventured there. So, it is because of lack of information that you sometime find people going into a lot of expensive ventures where they end up losing."

"content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, we have talked about tourism in general. We only talk about the sites which were known to Kenyans during the colonial days. You have talked about the sites in Suba. There are many attractive sites all over the country. There is a place called “Chavera” in my place where there is a rock with some footprints and it is believed that Jesus passed there. If we had this information, people would come and see whether it is true or not. There are very good sites from Maragoli Hills to the side of Bunyore which can be tourism attraction centres but Kenyans do not have this information. Recently, I visited a place in Mt. Kenya. Because of lack of information, in December, everybody is planning how he or she will go to the South Coast and North Coast in Mombasa. If you went to some areas with your family, you will stay comfortably. Those who have partners can go and stay exclusively in a natural place---"
