"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to this important Motion. I congratulate the Committee for preparing this Report that proposes to elevate Nakuru Municipality to city status. Nakuru is an industrial, agricultural and tourism town. Nakuru County has a lot of potential in terms of economic growth. When I was growing up, Nakuru used to be the cleanest town in Kenya. Many farmers, who were on transit looking for market for their livestock or crop produce, would always stop at Nakuru to look for accommodation before they travelled back to Nairobi or to other counties. Nakuru deserves to be elevated to city status but before that happens, there is need to improve the infrastructure of the town. As many of my colleagues have mentioned, Nakuru County needs to improve the traffic flow. Nakuru is known for many excellent learning institutions. However, one experiences a lot of traffic as you enter the town when travelling to visit your student in any of the schools. Nakuru needs to improve its infrastructure; the roads and drainage system."
