    "content": "mostly youths and by chasing them away, we are creating more insecurity. When we talk about the CBD car park, it will probably not work but the railway terminus will work. The other thing which the Mover of the Motion has talked about is that 60 per cent of the GDP of Kenya is in Nairobi. I think it is a fallacy which needs to be corrected. This week there was an article written by David Ndii, an economist who said that the GDP of Nairobi would not even be 30 per cent of the whole country. We, therefore, need to move away from the fallacy that only Nairobi contributes to the GDP of Kenya, because we in the counties are contributing a lot to this country. With those few remarks, I would like to support and say that when the Government acquires these 50 acres of land, it should be done transparently, not what hon. Aburi and hon. Arati have just said; that people will make a lot of noise. When it is done transparently and land is bought by private individuals, it should come through the Government in a transparent manner, not through the Cabinet Secretary in charge of the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure. This Motion should even go further and include roads like the ones in your Constituency; Ruaraka. I think Outer Ring Road is being done. I went to church a couple of months ago and found the roads are impassable. We should, therefore, think about other roads as well in the whole of Nairobi because even going to Industrial Area is a problem. It is as if people do not exist there, yet we have roads being done in other areas like Muthaiga and Lavington."
