    "content": "urban areas are governed and secured. It is about infrastructure in our urban areas. It is about water in our urban areas. It is about the contribution of urban areas to the economy. If you go to Laikipia, Nyahururu and Nanyuki towns contribute 70 per cent of the revenue generated in Laikipia. When you talk about a town like Nyahururu, it speaks to about the market of the tomatoes, maize and beans grown in the rural areas. It is about the market of the products of our people. This is a very critical instrument. I would like to plead with the county government to have a very purposeful collaboration and partnership with the national Government in the areas of urban development so that urban areas can grow and there can be a solid partnership between the national Government and the county governments so that we can grow our urban areas. I would also be looking forward to the Urban and Cities Act and particularly the amendments to be proposed. I saw in the media one or two months ago that the Cabinet considered and will be proposing an amendment to the Urban and Cities Act."
