    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, before I contribute to this Motion, I would like to send my condolences and those of my constituents to the family of the late Senator Otieno Kajwang’, who has been a good politician. He has been a very humorous politician in this country. His demise is a big blow to the children who always remember the word “ mapambano ” whenever they saw him on television. May God rest his soul in eternal peace! Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this very important Motion seeks to have Landhies Road and Jogoo Road expanded. New towns are now coming up all over the country. People should not be allocated buildings near roads that connect towns. Landhies Road may be a problem solved once this Motion – which I support – sails through contractors but we have problems all over the country. At the Meru-Makutano Road, the traffic jam is bigger than the one on Landhies Road. Therefore, the officers who are committed to plan towns should see the growth. If you look around Nairobi, you will appreciate that the number of vehicles bearing registration number “KCA” is bigger than the number plates that have been in existence before. This shows the high number of motor vehicles coming into this country. Therefore, road designers should bear in mind the fact that there is a high rate of motor vehicle importation and design roads that will cater for the high influx rate of motor vehicles. Landhies Road and Jogoo Road serve many communities. It serves residents of Donholm, Buruburu and Mwiki. Therefore, its expansion is very important. It is timely. It has come at the right time. I thank hon. Gakuya for bringing the Motion to the House, With those few remarks, I beg to support the Motion. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
