    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to speak to the amendment. I concur with hon. Mbadi that, in as much as through a Motion this House expresses itself on certain issues such as the one before us, we are generally urging something to be done about the congestion in Nairobi and the expansion of the road. Going to the details as to what exactly must be done and where to put a bus-stop and other issues is really not the work of this House. However, in itself, that is testimony to the fact that there is lack of either communication or good planning in this City. We would like to hear from the Chair of the Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing about the master-plan for Nairobi. What plans do the Nairobi County Government and the national Government have in terms of dealing with the roads in Nairobi and traffic congestion? For that reason, I oppose the amendment in as much as I support the Motion on the general expression of what the National Assembly feels. Let us not get into the details. Let us also get the actual plan of this City. Many of us believe that there is too much guess work going on in terms of how this City is being run."
