    "content": "is good because it takes you wherever you want very fast. It has made it very easy for our business people at the rural level, but at the same time, the level of damage that it is doing to our people is critical. The transport system also needs PPPs. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have mentioned agriculture, waste management, and housing. There is no county government that will build enough houses to take care of their citizens, not even as a nation. If you go to the developed world, most of the housing that we see out there is under PPPs. I encourage the national Government to make sure that once this Bill becomes an Act, it should be fast-tracked, so that we immediately start accruing benefits from it. It is not a Bill that should be put on the shelves and forgotten, because it will fast-track our development, and bring a lot of employment to our young people. This will help in achieving the Big Four Agenda of the President. We have industries, food security, housing and even infrastructure. It has been mentioned that for us to have proper infrastructure, the Government cannot do it alone because it is very expensive. Even the expressway that we have is a very expensive project, but it is going to improve this City. Everybody will see the benefit of the expressway. We can criticize it now because we look at it politically, but I am looking at Nairobi in 50 years to come. I am not looking at Nairobi of today where we have politics. Whatever is done, whether it is positive, people make sure that it is negated, so that we get our political mileage. It is not about getting political mileage. It is about giving the people of Kenya the development that we need. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this is a very timely Bill. I would like everybody to support it and make sure that it is passed, taken to the President for assent and put into practice. I thank you for giving me the opportunity."
