    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, aware that there are incessant traffic jams on Jogoo and Landhies roads due to congestion; deeply concerned that the jams are an inconvenience to road users and a source of atmospheric pollution from hazardous motor vehicle carbon emissions; further aware that there are 50 acres of land on which the former Muthurwa Railway Estate stands and that this land is adequate for purposes of modernization and expansion of the existing roads and infrastructure to ease the congestion and traffic jams; this House urges the Government to urgently acquire the land from the Railway Pensioners Scheme for the expansion and modernization of the Jogoo and Landhies roads. As the Motion states, in fact, we have permanent jams and headaches along these roads. From as far as Donholm to Ladhies Road, it takes more than three hours in the morning. It is high time that we considered these two roads as part of the 2030 flagship projects. Considering that these roads are in busy areas where the surroundings include the Wakulima Market, Machakos Terminus, Muthurwa Hawkers’ Market, J ua Kali and the route to the busy Industrial Area, I find it necessary to re-plan these particular roads in order to give more value to road users. This is also to decongest these two busy roads. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
