    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I beg to give notice of the following Motion:- THAT, AWARE that traffic congestion in Nairobi Metropolitan region is increasingly becoming worse leading to increased costs, longer travel times, constrained economic productivity and adverse health and environmental externalities; CONCERNED that the economic cost of the congestion is estimated to be Kshs.1 billion annually on account of wasted man-hours and wasted fuel due to vehicular queuing; APPRECIATING the Government’s effort in mitigating the problem by expanding infrastructure and initiating other interventions such as installation of traffic lights in the Central Business District; the Senate now calls upon the Government to consider formulating additional policy interventions to mitigate the problem by:- 1. Enacting legislation to allow only high capacity public transport to operate in the city; and 2. Creating regulations to:- a) Require all deliveries to business premises to be done at night; b) Require construction on roads that are in use to be done at night; and c) Reroute heavy commercial vehicles to use the bypasses Thank you."
