    "content": "One of the problems that I have seen is the problem of roundabouts. The more roundabouts you have in this City, the more traffic congestion you have. If you look at the road that goes to Lang’ata, before that roundabout used to be one of the locked-up areas. That roundabout on the Raila Odinga Way going up to Lang’ata used to be locked completely for a whole day because of traffic. When they did the upper pass and the underpass, now it has eased; just a simple bridge that was done there and it eased traffic. I want to request Nairobi City County and the Ministry of Roads and Transport to move with speed to remove the roundabouts in this country that cause huge traffic jam as we prepare to dual our roads. As I speak about roads here in Nairobi and other towns where there is major traffic snarl-up, on the Nairobi-Mombasa Road, before you get to Machakos, you spend like four hours in Nairobi. You go to Machakos and then probably spend four hours and you are almost in Mombasa. Then when you get to Mombasa, you get the jam again so you spend 16 hours on the road just because you cannot leave Nairobi faster and you cannot get into Mombasa faster."
