    "content": "used to link city hotels with the JKIA to ensure that our visitors are not inconvenienced. It will serve as a gateway. Jogoo Road is one of the oldest roads in the City but it has taken so long for it to be expanded. The traffic jam that emanate from it extends to other roads. As we sit here, we cannot say that there is a road on which you can move fast. All the roads leading to and from town are very congested. The road leading to Nyayo National Stadium and JKIA has very serious traffic jams. Therefore, I support the expansion of this particular road. I would suggest that the Mover includes the two roads and extends this particular one since they all meet at one place. The road that passes by the Nyayo National Stadium and Jogoo Road and Outer Ring Road meet at the JKIA. All our international visitors come through the JKIA. It is a nightmare for them getting to the Central Business District. Maybe, in future, the national Government and the Nairobi County Government should come up with a common strategy of streamlining transport within the City. When we leave our houses at 6.30 a.m., most of the time we get here at 9.00 a.m. We travel a distance of only five kilometres, but we are unable to get to the City in good time. If I say that people should use public transport, people out there will say that Members of Parliament should start so that they can follow. If there is any master-plan it must be used to plan this City. Once it is planned, it will be very easy to leave town. So, I am urging the Government to do something about Airport Road. It is a serious issue with foreigners coming in and going out. I am talking from experience. I run a travel agency company and I know when our guests come to these city hotels like Intercontinental and the rest, they check out four hours before departure time and for international flights you have to check in two hours before departure. Let us try and see how we can help our guests. All of us have travelled outside the country and we have seen master-plans in those cities It is very easy to move in them. The movement is not that difficult. So, as we talk about Jogoo Road, if we can extend it through Outer Ring to the airport, it will be good. The other day when His Excellency the President was coming from the International Criminal Court (ICC), he passed through that road and I am sure it was not easy for many vehicles to access that road because it is very narrow. I do not have the geography of that area. I think he came from the airport through Donholm. We must do something only in this area. So, I stand here to support. Thank you."
