    "content": "I assure Members that this affordable housing scheme is one way of improving the economy. If you move around Nairobi City County, you will see that the boys and girls who do not have jobs do not even know where to go. I ask the Leader of the Minority Party and the other Members opposing this Bill to come up with some issues that can enrich it so that we can pass it for the benefit of Kenyans. It is not for your benefit or mine; it is for the benefit of Kenyans. Therefore, it is only fair that we look at it. As I said earlier, we can ask Parliament to sponsor some of the Members who are in doubt to go to Angola, which has the same scheme. I went around that country and saw that it is doable. The only way is to benchmark. You do not have to go there, but you can see online what is in Luanda, Angola. I saw that and was very impressed. I urge Members to pass this Bill to see what we can do to benefit. Somebody will not benefit as an individual. A Member talked about corruption. I do not know how it comes in. We can look at the system in place and see whether we can propose amendments and then support this Bill. I support it. I call upon those with negative attitudes not to oppose it because they are in opposition. It will benefit other Kenyans. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
