    "content": "and CCTV yet it is a function of government. It is not a function of private citizens to pay for security. During a tour to Japan I was surprised to discover – and Sen. Sakaja, again, I address you on this – that 70 per cent of the 1,250 CCTV cameras in Nairobi do not have face recognition features. What is the point of having CCTV cameras if you cannot follow a criminal from Kenyatta Avenue to Uhuru Highway and Waiyaki Way because one camera has face recognition and the other one does not? How did that happen? Corruption! A former Member of Parliament was killed in front of CCTV cameras. I have never seen such brazen acts of violence in front of a camera. It is because those fellows know that from Kenyatta Avenue to Moi Avenue and Tom Mboya Street, they will possibly remove their masks and nobody will recognise them. Mr. Willy Kimani was killed, passed though Nairobi City and the trail disappeared. The other gentleman, Mr. Jacob Juma, was also killed; cold trail. So, let us be serious. Sen. Sakaja, I am charging you as my friend that this nice looking document is not helpful unless the cities of Nairobi, Kisumu, Mombasa, Nakuru, Eldoret and other major cities are converted to major centres of excellence. People from the counties go to Kigali to benchmark on cleanliness. This country needs prayers. They want to know what President Kagame did so that we do not drop a piece of paper on the street. What did he do to make sure that we do not litter? In the city of Berlin even the trees are numbered. They have a tree registry. You do not cut a tree in Berlin, unless you seek authority. In Tokyo Japan you will not find a piece of paper on the streets. It is possible. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we can have trains and all other things, but unless we convert these policies of urban development into good housing for every Kenyan; the one earning Kshs1 million, the one earning Kshs200 a day and the ones who walk to Industrial Area every day--- If you see them walking from Kibera along Mbagathi Way you might think that there is a migration of people. Public transport is the hallmark of any city; that people can be moved from one place to the other without paying much. Therefore, as I support this Policy and its lateness, I am will hopefully introduce the Disaster Management Bill in the Senate, so we can start making good law out of the time that we will spend in this Senate. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
