    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. If the Government does not do certain things, we will continue experiencing many problems. One thing they should do is use data in planning. Each successive government has been well aware that the number of vehicles on the roads increases each year. What measures are we putting in place to accommodate this increase in the volume of traffic in terms of road infrastructure? Each successive government has not dealt with certain basic things. They are well aware that vehicles are registered every day and the number of vehicles keeps increasing, but the road infrastructure is not developed. We have a similar problem in regard to housing in Nairobi County. One building is brought down and replaced by a massive apartment building accommodating more than 40 households. Such developments do not plan for sewerage systems or parking facilities, which creates a mess. We have data on the mess on our roads and other infrastructure due to poor planning. I do not want to say that the planning is bad, but somebody is ignoring the more serious issues. These are basic facts. Provisions must be put in place to cater to the increase in population, even in terms of water resources. Nairobi County does not have the same number of people it did 20 years ago. We must look forward so that we can cater to some of these things."
