    "content": "The media have reported to us that crime rates in Ruiru Constituency, in my own county of Kiambu — and the Member for Ruiru is here, he can bear me witness — are going down courtesy of this housing agenda and the jobs it creates. I want to tell the people of Kikuyu that the ground that has been broken between us and Kabete Constituency, 756 units will be done. We broke the ground a week ago and very soon they will see those houses coming up. The Muguga Agri-City that people were speaking about — and I know there are naysayers who feel like crying and were in Kiambu County today instigating people to oppose this programme — will become a reality with a minimum of 14,000 houses. I must congratulate my good friend, the Member for Githunguri, because she did not just oppose this Bill; she proposed an amendment although she dropped all the amendments except one or two that were also defeated. Allow me to also take this opportunity to assure the people of Githunguri Constituency in Kiambu County that they shall not be left behind. I must, again, thank Hon. Kago wa Lydia who has helped us in Githunguri Constituency to identify land to build over 2,000 housing units that will also incorporate a cultural centre for the Mau Mau freedom fighters who fought for our Independence and for our land. The people of Githunguri shall not and will never be left behind on account of retrogressive politics that you may find elsewhere."
