"content": "use tricycles and wheel chairs, on the same congested roads, which sometimes causes additional injuries to them. If we use alternative means of transport it will decongest the city. We will ensure that we are changing the living standards of other users who are marginalized. They will have space of using the same, roads. When we talk about the menace that is brought about by the traffic jam in Nairobi, most of the motor vehicle accessories are broken while people are stuck on the road in the traffic jams, or during rainy season and when people are stuck at one point. At the end of the day, they find themselves losing some parts of their accessories of their motor vehicles. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I support this Motion, having in mind that, indeed, it is a concern for each and every Kenyan. We, as legislators, must work towards relieving Kenyans who cannot come here and state the challenges they are facing. I remember one time when I was requesting a traffic officer to allow me because I was getting late and he told me that you are the legislators, stay there so that you understand that you are failing to do what you are supposed to do. The most vulnerable unit is the traffic, because it reaches at time when I have lunch with my colleagues at Kenyatta International Conventional Centre (KICC), but because I cannot cross within the buildings am forced to use my vehicle to come to Parliament. It takes me another 30 minutes to just move from the KICC to this Chamber. It is a concern and, indeed, a menace within the city. It increases the cost of fuel, repairs and other things. The people in charge need to be more aggressive, as the late Hon. Michuki was. If you do something, be proactive for you to succeed. With those remarks, I thank the Mover of the Motion and I support."
