    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, urban centres will not grow without proper planning for sewer systems. When you go to Ongata Rongai, which is now the most vibrant annex to the City of Nairobi, you will find no sewer system anywhere; none! Everybody is building a house similar to that you would find in Muthaiga or wherever, but you have to sink a septic tank. Those septic tanks are so poorly done sometimes that they contaminate all the underground water. Those who cannot afford to build septic tanks with concrete walls just dig pit latrines. So, the sewerage seeps into the underground water such that when you drill a borehole, you will be drinking the seepage from public toilets. Then, we still stand loftily and say that we must eradicate dysentery, diarrhoea and other diseases. How do you eradicate diseases when you are so negligent in managing your affairs? It is not possible! Why have we let Ongata Rongai, Kiserian, Ngong and Kitengela grow to where they are without a sewer line yet we have planners? These are people who have been trained and employed by the public to plan, but all they do is to purvey documents from one office to another and pocket mulungula! Sen. Mwaura, mulungula means a bribe, if you do not know. They pocket mulungula and the next day they are just there. Madam Temporary Speaker, this policy will be as good as its implementation. This policy on its own has got no measures of obligating anybody to follow them. We must bring, from this policy, legislation that outlines the dos and don’ts of planning. I want to live to see the country---"
