    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Mr. Kutuny was worried about rural-urban migration and how to stem the tide. Last week, I said here that rural-urban migration is a universal phenomenon that cannot be stemmed. The mistake that was made in the early part of our Independence was to assume that by telling people, “Rudini mashambani”, they would go back. No proper planning was made to receive the influx of the population from the rural to urban areas which continued. It is for that reason that we have the problem today. Had measures been taken to deal with it in advance, we would not be having slums in all our major urban areas. Low cost houses would have been constructed just like the colonialists had started to do in our cities. Roads would have been constructed and water and sewerage systems would have been set up."
