"content": "order but I hereby invite the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Lands to visit my constituency so that he can get to see what I am talking about. My people are neglected. I know they do not have good income but we are still Kenyan taxpayers and voters. That one human being who lives in Karen or Runda has the same say when it comes to voting as that person who lives in Mukuru kwa Njenga or Mukuru kwa Reuben. We need to be treated equally. There is a time we talked about equalisation funds. That is another area that we really need to come and look at. We need to look at the equalisation funds being sent to other parts of the country and yet within Nairobi itself we are totally neglected. My colleague from the other side alluded to the fact that the roads in Nairobi, thanks to the bypasses, have no traffic jam. If you were to leave Embakasi in the morning coming to town, it is about one hour and 40 minutes’ drive. So, we are not there yet when it comes to eliminating traffic jams in Nairobi. We need to find a way to really solve some of these problems. With those many remarks, I wish to support the Bill. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
