If you go to the other roundabout, you pay a different amount. If you go to Westlands, you pay a different amount. If you go all the way to Rironi in Limuru, then you pay a different charge. That has been taken care of. So, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am really requesting this House to approve this Motion so that we can have predictability going to the airport. The worst thing is, as of now, if you are going towards the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, you have no idea whether it is going to take you ten minutes, 30 minutes, two hours or sometimes even three hours, as I have been told it has happened. So, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as of the moment, we are losing more than Kshs24 billion in wasted fuel. If you look at the opportunity cost, that is another Kshs20 billion. So, we are losing almost Kshs50 billion on traffic jams per year. This will go a long way in ameliorating and sorting out this problem. I urge this House to approve this Motion. The Minister has given his assurance that if there are any issues that hon. Members will raise, they will be taken care of as the concessionaire looks for finance. With those few remarks, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to second."
