    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Petition from the people of Kajiado County. When we developed the Vision 2030, it was called a “globally competitive and prosperous Kenya”. One of the pillars of Vision 2030 in Chapter Two of that vision was the foundation for a Socio-economic transformation of this nation. The first item in that transformation was infrastructure. If you look at Vision 2030, it envisaged modern infrastructure as Sen. Kagwe says, that will connect the bedrooms of Nairobi to the city. Nairobi’s bedrooms are in Kiambu, Juja, Thika, Ongata Rongai, Kajiado and if you go further, Machakos County. There is no way, given population growth, that these bedrooms will be efficiently connected to the city without the kind of infrastructure that the people of Kajiado are talking about. That is a rapid transit system using railway and if possible, an underground system. If we did an underground system, we would give a lot of our people labour. The idle youth in this town will be put under the ground digging, getting out the earth, and making sure that we have a rapid transit system. This is a very progressive proposal by the people of Kajiado. I hope that we can all support it and the Jubilee Government will proceed quickly to implement what the people are proposing. I beg to support."
