    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support this Petition. I live in Kitengela, Kajiado County. For the last 15 years, I have seen Kitengela and Kajiado grow. The people of Kajiado will thank the Member for introducing this Petition because they have suffered problems of infrastructure and security. This mainly affects the rural and peri- urban population of Kajiado. Kitengela Town, for example, was poorly designed for passengers and traffic. It takes a motorist four hours to reach Nairobi from Kitengela. I leave at 5.00 a.m. and arrive here at 9.00 a.m. Kitengela alone will take someone two hours because the road is very narrow. People going to Tanzania complain about this town. During the rainy season, people are unable to access their houses because of a poor road network. I have raised this issue with the Governor and the Senator, who is my friend. The population there also lacks clean water. There is also poor sewerage in many of the towns in Kajiado. My appeal is for Members to support this Petition because in our wish to decongest Nairobi, Kajiado, Kiambu and parts of Thika and Limuru, this will be the solution. We need to fix the infrastructure, provide clean water and fix the sewerage problems in order for the population to survive."
