    "content": "Starting with charges right away is denying Kenyans a chance to enjoy their own services from the tax that they pay. Madam Deputy Speaker, this Statement is timely. The concerned authorities, especially the Kenya National Highway Authority (KeNHA) needs to look at the design and create exits for us. Most Government institutions are still based within the CBD and its environs. Many medical emergency cases are taken to the Kenyatta National Hospital and Nairobi Hospital and yet, there is no exit. Educational facilities like the University of Nairobi also need easy access from the Expressway. If we congest these facilities, then the Expressway has not sorted out our problem. Instead, we are still creating some challenges within the transport network in the City. Otherwise, I applaud the Government for coming up with it. To touch on what Sen. Cherargei said, as I sit here in Parliament, I see the Expressway passing on top of our building. Anything can happen. I am not saying that we expect anything, but we have seen these things happen. We cannot take it for granted. The designer should have done better. It is a bit challenging to have a road next to Parliament, which houses very important people. To me, it poses a security threat. I support the Statement and congratulate Sen. Iman for coming up with it."
