    "content": "People need to respect roads because they are public utilities and spaces. In Nairobi, huge supermarkets and large businessmen fence part of our roads and develop it as parking denying the public access to the same road. They even start charging some fee. I am sure you have seen some supermarkets which acquire road reserves, even if it is on a temporary basis, build a parking lot and start earning income from a public property denying the public a chance to use that space. I want that area to be looked into. I would like to talk about development around our roads especially near junctions and gridlocked areas. Traffic jam builds up rapidly around such places. For instance, along Ngong Road, traffic jam builds up at the Prestige, Nakumatt Junction and Karen. I will propose an amendment to the effect that if you develop an area near a road which substantively alters the flow of traffic that it was designed for, you should contribute to the enhancement or the alterations of the road in such a way that traffic can flow as designed."
