    "content": "Thank you Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the Motion by the gracious Sen. Kittony. She came up with the Motion after realizing that many Kenyans, particularly those living in Nairobi and its environs, are going through agony because of the traffic jam, the cost it has been pushing into their pockets and also on their lives. Madam Temporary Speaker, when I looked at the Motion, I thought the Senator must have been an engineer, but only to realize that at one time she served as the Chairlady of Maendeleo ya Wanawake . I think she got a lot of experience to know what bothers the majority of us who live in urban centres and she is requesting in this Motion that, at least, roads need to be improved so that the city can be decongested. We should come up with new systems where we can have, if possible, other means of transport other than just public means and the passenger vehicles we find in Nairobi where may be the number of passenger vehicles are so many. Almost all of them are driven by single drivers without even somebody being given a lift in those vehicles. Madam Temporary Speaker, the Motion has come at the right time and I do believe what the Senator will do is to come up with a Bill so that she is able to move and make sure that the implementation part of it is done. Following the earlier plans when the City was planned by the “white” people and in the early 1960’s and 1970’s, people could really enjoy the rides in Nairobi. They could drive to see the High Rise Estate which was coming up that time, the Nairobi National Park, Uhuru Park and many other areas. But because of the traffic jam, that leisure is no longer there for anybody wanting to come to the city just for a visit. Madam Temporary Speaker, there are some cities that people go to, just to stroll around and enjoy themselves. For example, a city like Panama, at least you will go there and enjoy. Looking at what we have been going through in our city, very few people, even youngsters will want to come and watch movies like it used to be.
