    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also support the idea of a light rail transport system within the City. Nairobi City has become a nightmare for motorists and any other person who lives in it. The way to go about this problem is to come up with the rail transport. I have heard many people say that they do not think that this is achievable because they are not used to such things happening. However, we should encourage this Government to take that route in order to decongest the City. The Government should ensure that the rail transport not only cuts across the City, but also links different towns in the country. I remember sometime last year, we visited Spain. The head of delegation was the current Deputy Prime Minister and Minster for Finance, who was then the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade. We travelled by train for only three-and- half hours from Madrid to a city that was as far as Mombasa is from Nairobi. I remember as we were travelling, we were looking at that wonderful technology and asking: “Will we ever see this happen in Kenya?” Since he is now here as the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance, and we are discussing with him about the City, he should not forget what we saw in Spain and what we wished for Kenya to be. He should make sure that, that becomes a reality at one point because he is now in office."
