"content": "For that matter, I plead with the Minister to look for pilot projects on slum upgrading in areas where they need to be, like in the constituencies; that is where we have slums. I say so because in my constituency, there is a slum. You can have a pilot project on upgrading of the slum in my area. In this way, you will also be teaching the local people how to use appropriate technology. There is technology that is available. Research was done by the University of Nairobi as long ago as when I was there. There is a Housing Development Unit in the Faculty of Architecture, Design and Development, which must now be updated. They have proper research on how you can use cheap materials for construction of cheap houses that are affordable, and which can accommodate people in the real sense of accommodating people. Whenever I look at the building called Railway, it reminds me of the colonial times. If we seriously look at the densities of buildings here, we are still talking about the big, open spaces that we used to talk about during Independence."
