    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, my eyes have seen you today and I am happy. I congratulate my colleague, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., for bringing the County Outdoor Advertising Control Bill (Senate Bill No.11 of 2015). Although this Bill is late, it is better late than never. I say this because some of our county headquarters, towns, shops and roads are saturated with a lot of advertisements, particularly billboards that have been put up haphazardly in some areas. This Bill, therefore, will control outdoor advertisement and protect the environment in the counties. As you enter some towns and cities like Nakuru, Eldoret, Kitale and Kapenguria, you will see an array of competing advertisement billboards paraded everywhere. This Bill will regulate this and compel counties to form committees that will manage this type of business. As you enter Kitale and Kapenguria towns, you will see over 1000 small billboards advertising everything, including some things that do not even exist anymore. If we pass this Bill, the governors and those who will be coming later will organize the advertising. I am happy with what happens in Nairobi. We have digital billboards which run several advertisements many times once they are paid for. Once such a billboard is put strategically in a particular place, it can have all the advertisements. If the county does not have entrepreneurs like Magnet Ventures Limited, they can do it using a committee, so that all advertisements can be paid through the relevant department. The design and display of messages should also be regulated to ensure that the advertisements on billboards are seen and read clearly. In some airports, for example, you will find only one billboard that rolls over. In Amsterdam, for example, many planes land every five minutes. So, you have to keep monitoring. Suppose 1,000 planes land--- The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes"
