    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. As I reply to this Motion, I thank the Members who have contributed to it. Many issues have been raised by the Members. There are issues like disability and access to buildings. Hon. Murugi talked about asbestos. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you are a Member of our Committee and you can remember we agreed that asbestos should not be used anymore. We dealt with that matter and I think there is no agency in the Government that can use asbestos now. This policy addresses all those issues including maintenance of buildings. The mentality of Kenyans is that you can build a building and in your lifetime, you do not spare some money for maintenance. So, this is a very good policy because at the end of the day, some agencies will be empowered to monitor and inspect buildings and make sure that we live in a better environment. If you go to Mombasa, you will see buildings which have not been painted for about four or five years. You may think Mombasa is a very old town and the buildings are old. These buildings are not maintained. It is the same case here in Nairobi. With this policy, we will maintain all our buildings. It does not provide for Government buildings only, but also provides for private buildings. With those few remarks, I thank Members and urge them to pass the Motion."
