    "content": "Nakuru is one of the towns that is fast growing. By elevating Nakuru to city status, we are going to achieve general growth in this country and in the Rift Valley region. I may not have an opportunity to say much but I urge Members to support this Motion that proposes the elevation of Nakuru to city status. I know there are issues such as that of the street children. However, those are issues we have to deal with. Such an issue should not stand in the way of Nakuru being elevated to city status because it meets most if not all the requirements. Issues such as that of street children that have been raised under other committees of the Senate should be looked into to conclusion, to make sure that the children are taken care of. Mr. Speaker, Sir, lastly, the issue of garbage collection and processing is critical. Nakuru is at a very high and advanced stage of processing their waste, to the extent that they are adding value and selling it. I consider that a step in the right direction. The Nakuru county government is also addressing their drainage system and the flooding of Lake Nakuru. With those few remarks, I support the Report on the elevation of Nakuru to city status. Thank you."
