    "content": " Thank you. There is very marginal acceptability of marriage, a case which I want to invite my countrymen to accept that we are Africans and we value marriage. I am married and it is important that we also encourage our children to get married so that they live in a union that they can plan jointly, put resources together and have a better life. Finally, there are issues of population, human settlement, environmental and disaster that the Committee has highlighted. This is very key. Most people tend to say they want to move from the rural areas. I am a representative of a 100 per cent rural constituency. I will encourage my people not to see Nairobi as the destination of a better life. Instead, I would wish that more institutions can move from Nairobi to Navakholo, where there is cheap land and set up their institutions cheaply. We have boys and girls in Navakholo who have gone to school and who can still produce what can be produced in Nairobi at a cheaper cost. Therefore, I would not want to encourage movement from Navakholo to Nairobi. Instead, we move resources from Nairobi down to Navakholo. Thank you. I support this Sessional Paper."
