    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I thank Mr. Kimeto for bringing this Motion to the House. I am appreciative to add my voice in support of this important Motion. We do not have a transport system in this country; not even an elementary one. The Minister, himself, has admitted that, in Nairobi, you cannot drive along Moi Avenue. For the last three years, the Minister has been telling us that there is a policy being developed. Why can they not implement a few recommendations made in that policy; the ones that do not transgress the law? Is it illegal for the Ministry to organise and manage transport in Nairobi? If Nairobi is too big for 696 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES April 26, 2006 them, can they not manage transport along Moi Avenue? Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the same Ministry has allowed matatus in the City. They are doing that, instead of developing a public transport system like the one in Hong Kong, Cairo and even London. Why do they want to invent a wheel, when it has already been invented? Why do you want to conduct research to develop an inter-railway transport system, when it has been developed elsewhere? Just pick it. Go to the internet, pick and implement it! Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the problem we have is implementation. I wish the Minister could confirm to us that he will bring the Policy Paper before we go on recess. They should start implementing a few recommendations. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
