This should include the aspects of space management, creation of functional termini pick up and drop off points and keeping the existing infrastructure in a serviceable state. For the Bomas- Kiserian-Ngong-Karen Road, it is imperative that KeNHA keeps it not only in a serviceable state but creates a dual carriage to accommodate more inter model traffic now that the road has been reclassified to a Class “B”. 5. THAT waste management challenges in Kajiado North impedes development. The need to address the waste management challenge in Kajiado North Sub-County is overdue as every urban area has been littered with both solid and liquid waste thus becoming not only an eyesore but a health hazard due to heaps of decomposing solid waste and flowing open sewage. 6. THAT the County Government urgently formulates traffic and urban management by-laws to equally address both the traffic and space management menace in Ongata Rongai, Kiserian and Ngong. 7. THAT the County Government must employ traffic marshals in Ongata Rongai, Kiserian and Ngong for enforcing traffic laws and county-urban management by laws. 8. THAT the conferment of municipality status to Kajiado North Sub-County is now over due. The Sub-County is close to the capital city County of Nairobi thereby adversely being affected by the effects of urban sprawl. Resolution of the urban challenges such as liquid and solid waste management, water, energy, infrastructure, social amenities et cetera requires colossal capital outlays, which the young devolved units with expansive land masses such as Kajiado cannot afford without compromising the less developed pockets of its populace. Urban challenges can perennially present themselves as emergency challenges and will, therefore, require resource mobilization outside the limited county or national revenue basket. There are tens of regional and global development partners which cities and municipalities can engage directly for partnership in their respective development programmes. This is the only way to guarantee serviceable infrastructure and efficient service delivery to its citizenry. 9. THAT in the past, capital projects have been implemented without requisite supervision. This has led to loss of public funds by roads being short lived or being washed away by rains. 10. THAT efforts and engagement with the national Government on the above issues in the past have not yielded any concrete action which the Senate’s attention is now invited. 11. THAT the issues on which the Petition is made are not the subject of any court case. Where there is a court case, we are seeking to have the County Government enforce a court order which is self-explicit. WHEREFORE your humble petitioners pray that the Senate:- Conducts its own investigation with a view to directing the respective county or national Government to take necessary steps, including budget provision, to ensure the realization of the matters raised in this Petition and ensure the following:- (a) Cause the Kajiado County Government to harmonise land rates within Kajiado The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
