    "content": "Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to take my first few seconds to send my condolences to our neighbours, the people of Nyeri, for losing their governor, who was my personal friend. At this time of grief, we can only pray that God gives them enough peace so that they can move on. Even as we discuss this policy framework paper today, I rise to support it with a few points. First of all, when we talk about urbanisation and town management, the issue of service and security come first. We realise that by virtue of cities and towns being densely populated, their per capita cost of offering services is always quite low. Therefore, my take would be that, because we have so many people living in small pieces of land – especially within our towns – the issue of infrastructure needs to be given a lot of prominence. I have been looking at the way we grow as a nation, especially infrastructure-wise. I always think because much of our economy and much of our GDP and output is from urban areas, specifically Nairobi, we always undermine our cities; especially when we are giving them resources for infrastructural development."
