    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am not reading a speech. I have some points that I have noted down to guide me in this debate. I am not reading any speech. It should raise hairs to note that Nairobi City County was ranked eighth among the most difficult cities to find parking. As a Member of the Nairobi City County Delegation, I wish to inform this House that Nairobi City is one of the most congested cities in Africa. Getting a parking spot is a menace. This imbalance of parking demand and the slots available is due to the high number of motorists who prefer using their cars, as opposed to public means. I have a few proposals to tackle this issue of parking in the City. There is need to provide more parking spaces. Contractors of any new building, particularly in the Central Business District (CBD), should indicate how they intend to provide parking to the users of those buildings. This should even be in the pre-approval process. There is need to re-designate some roads within the CBD and allow parking on pavements. The City County government should also provide non-motorable means into the CBD, like we have seen in other parts of the world. Not all of us need to drive into the already congested CBD. Special interest groups such as People Living with Disabilities (PWDs) deserve more allotments for parking areas. I support the Motion."
