    "content": "Sometimes back, the late Mwalimu Julius Nyerere of Tanzania used to ask: “Why go to UK, when you can go to Nairobi? Nairobi is as good as the UK”. He used to talk about this about 15 or more years ago. Therefore, we are late and we should move very fast to actualise this. I suggest that the Leader of the Majority Party fast tracks this so that by the time this Session of the 11th Parliament ends, we should have passed this Bill. Looking at the composition of the members of the Steering Council behind this Bill, because of the importance of the region and given the fact that there is no member who is political other than the President and the Deputy President, I suggest that we include the Governor of Nairobi, the Senator of Nairobi and the Women Representative for Nairobi County in the Third Reading. This is to ensure that the political side is brought on board. The rest are more of civil servants. This is very important because there will be some political issues that will have to be dealt with by the Governor, the Senator and the Women Representative in this Council."
