    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to seek clarification on two issues. A decongested Central Business District (CBD) means that the matatus will be consuming less fuel. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the introduction of a shuttle transport system within the CBD means that commuters who alight at Muthurwa have to board other matatus to get to their places of work. I would like to know from the Minister what he is going to do to cushion the commuters against the added cost in terms of fare. Secondly, Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Minister has talked about a move that he is going to take in trying to discourage private motorists from accessing the CBD. That move is intended to encourage private motorists to leave their vehicles at the outskirts of the city and board matatus . Before that move is undertaken, I would like to know from the Minister what he is going to do to ensure that private motorists who will be using public means are comfortable. That is because the indiscipline that exists in the matatu industry is at such high levels that there is no private motorist who will leave his car and walk into a matatu knowing very well that he will leave it without his purse, mobile phone or even shoes!"
