    "content": "people rushed to be allocated sites, they would bring down very important buildings and put up some high rise buildings, or whatever kind of building, making us lose our heritage sites to the new developments. This law will protect those areas, so that we can have the heritage sites. As we travel to other countries, we visit their heritage sites yet we have destroyed most of our heritage sites in Kenya. Once this becomes law, we should make sure that it is implemented not only in its letter, but also its spirit. As we move on, Kenya will have better planned landmass areas, buildings and more so, all the departments will work together in harmony to make sure that we realise this goal of better physical planning. Physical planning is not only about planning plots and putting roads and other infrastructure in place, but it carries with it the environmental aspect. It is not enough to say that we are going to do physical planning without including the issue of the environment and planting trees. This should be tied somewhere with other laws like the National Environmental Management Authority (NEMA) laws, so that we can have not only the environmental impact assessments, but also for people to be forced to plant trees in Kenya, so that we can have a green coverage of our country to enable us to deal with issues of climate change and make our cities, towns and rural areas as beautiful as they should be. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
