    "content": "Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for allowing me to add my voice to this important Statement by Sen. Iman. I would like to congratulate her for coming up with that statement which is very timely. Madam Deputy Speaker, I would like to say that the Nairobi Expressway is one of the major developments that have taken place in recent years and any development is expected to improve the lifestyle of the citizens. It is our expectation that the designers will be able to look at it and see how they can improve so that it can fit the needs of our people. Nairobi is well known for traffic jam, especially during the rush hour and unless the designers or the planners seriously plan then we might not be able to help our people. The other thing is about the charges. As you know, we are facing a lot of economic challenges both in the city and the urban areas. The Expressway charges should be reviewed so that many Kenyans can afford to use it. Regarding allowing the free usage of the Expressway for emergency cases, I think that is a valid recommendation or request. The designers should see how best that can be handled because during the rush hour, we know that the roads are normally congested and people really suffer. I, therefore, want to say that I support the Statement and pray that the Nairobi Expressway will serve the purpose for which it was intended. I thank you."
