    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I hope I can get back the time that my Member has taken from me. He has my vote in Nairobi. He will vote for me as a Senator. Those are the problems we get when we do not allow some of that water to percolate. Instead of allowing it to percolate into the ground, we should be able to have an effective control of that run-off so that it can be utilised. That includes being able to control and manage the velocity and flow of storm water and reducing pollutant discharges in a city where a lot of what comes out from factories and industries might be pollutants. We must be able to control that flow. We have seen a lot of management practices that are employed world-over. In the United Kingdom (UK), for example, they have what they call sustainable drainage systems that we can incorporate in Nairobi and Kenya. We have water sensitive urban design policies that are being implemented in Australia and the Middle East. There are also green roofs and improved chemical handling. There is a world of opportunity and things that we can do as we look at this. I want to thank the Member. I can see my time is up. I hope we get more time. I am confident that those things will be implemented in Nairobi once we elect Mike Sonko as Governor and Sakaja as Senator."
