    "content": "I commend the Committee for the public participation exercise that they conducted across the country. It was one of its kind because there has never been enough public participation conducted. This public participation informs the support of this Bill. Most Kenyans who participated in the exercise said there is need for us to pass this Bill for the construction of these houses to continue. For example, in Nairobi we have very many slums. There is need for these slums to be improved. If you listen to the people from the slums, they were all in agreement that the affordable housing project should continue. So I do not see any need of opposing the Bill. Kenyans are in agreement that this Bill should be implemented. The only worry of Kenyans is whether the Levy they are being charged will be utilised well. That is one of the reasons why this Bill is here, so that we can rectify some of the areas that were left hanging that Kenyans are worried about like the money they contribute. I support this Bill and I urge other Members to support it. If there is anything from my colleagues that will enrich this Bill, let them contribute so that the Bill is enriched when we pass it and Kenyans can benefit from the construction of affordable houses."
