    "content": "open up its mind to this kind of things. I am sure the minute we make a request that at the end of the cable car network, we propose to have a small restaurant in Mt. Kenya, NEMA would oppose the move. We can build a restaurant in Mt. Kenya provided that it is also environmentally conscious. Therefore, what we are saying is that the organization called NEMA is supposed to protect the environment and it should rightly do so but not in a blind form where it cannot see dynamism in what lies ahead. This also applies to other organizations that need to open their minds. They should not just approve the requests that are made but also do so in good time. There is no need of taking a request to build a cable car then you find that it takes a year to get approved. Any investor coming to Kenya to build a tram or a cable car would want to save time. I would also urge that as we develop this policy, let us do so on two fronts. It can be build by the county government or the national Government but let us also be clear that we can also use the private sector to do it on the basis of Private-Public Partnership (PPP). There are many people who are running cable cars in Switzerland and elsewhere. Let the county governments approach these people and do so on the basis of PPPs. To me, this looks like the easiest way forward because a PPP gets you capital, the management that you require for those cable cars because the last thing we want is to build a cable car and within a week you hear that one of them has dropped into a ravine somewhere in the Rift Valley. We want people who can manage these cable cars in a manner that the question of safety is addressed immediately. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to end there and support this Motion."
