    "content": "the cables from one level to another. I have visited the capital city of Venezuela, Caracas. I found out that the people living in the lower villages are easily transported to the upper regions. Those living in separate ridges can also be easily accessed using cable cars at a very low cost. Some people may not understand what cable cars are. The moment they understand what cable cables are and what they do, they will appreciate the efficiency they provide in the transport system. We need to encourage the central Government to come up with studies and ideas on how this can be implemented in Kenya. If they do so, they will know that we will save on the cost of fuel, time and also on speed and efficiency. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is important to note that countries that have cable cars, besides saving on time, earn a lot of money from foreigners who travel to those places to see how cable cars operate. I have been to Canada. Most of the Canadians who live on the coastal lands prefer moving to the Rocky Mountains by use of cable cars. This is either because these cars are efficient or they are environmentally friendly. As you climb, you see a lot of other things that are on the lowlands. As a result of this, Alberta, which is a province in Canada, is richer than many countries in Africa. We need to move with speed and direction, so that we make Kenya a developed country. This is one area that we need to target. As I speak, I am aware that Uganda is developing cable cars in the Ruwenzori Mountains. Rwanda is also starting to develop these cars. I am sure these are not very rich countries. They are not richer than Kenya. But the moment they have these cable cars on those mountains, I am sure they will tap more tourists from the rest of Africa and the world. They will earn more money than what we have been earning. Eventually, they might beat us in the tourism industry. This is a consideration that the Government should look into, come up with proposals and then embrace technology which is found in other countries, so that we develop. Algeria is one of the greatest cable car users. We also have cable cars used on the Cameroon mountains and the Eastern side of Nigeria. If we are not careful, other countries will surpass us. That is why I moving such a Motion, so that we a have future where we can generate enough money. This money can be used to develop areas of agriculture, industries et cetera . Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am imploring the central Government so that they can come up with a study or proposal, so that we can start thinking about cable cars. This will be seen as a solution to the very many problems that we are having, on our transport infrastructure and economically. We will also increase our entertainment spots. With those remarks, I beg to move and ask my friend from Kajiado County to second my Motion. I do not know why I forget his name---"
