    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, under Standing Order No.54, I beg to move the following amendment:- THAT, the Motion be amended by inserting the words “and creation of a CBD Parking, a bus terminus, modernization of Wakulima Market, expansion of the railway terminus and building of an overpass” immediately after the word “roads” at the end of the last sentence. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, having heard hon. Gakuya move his Motion, it is clear that the 50 acre parcel of land that is available for purchase from the Railways Pension Scheme is not just intended to expand Landhis Road and Jogoo Road, but he also had in mind that the bus terminus commonly known as “Machakos” be expanded and modernised. He also wishes to have Ukulima Market modernised and expanded, including the establishment of a mall for hawkers. Further, he has in mind the establishment of parking for vehicles terminating in the CBD. It is, therefore, important that all this is captured in the Motion. A 50 acre piece of land is very big, especially noting that it is next to the CBD. I am aware that, that is an urgent issue that needs to be dealt with. As we speak, the relevant pension scheme is trying to organise the sale of that land, so that it can liquidate claims by its members. Therefore, even as we think of the roads, it is important that there be a lot of speed on this particular Motion.
