    "content": "I appreciate the Ministry for coming up with this Policy document. I also appreciate them for the role they played and their consultation with county governments. It is now time for us to look at the legal framework for us to deal with these issues when the law comes here. We know very well that His Excellency the President has focused on four key agenda, including matters of housing and urban development. To eradicate the issue of slums, it will be great to ensure that this Policy document is passed by this House. We will then we wait for the legal proposals and pass them. I also request that where we think that the Government has not come up with legislative proposals, it is our responsibility as Senators to draft Private Members Bills that will fill the gaps that are existing in so far as housing and urban development and matters of slum upgrading and prevention are concerned. Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to thank everybody who contributed. I believe that their views will be incorporated in the next stage when it comes to passing the legislation. With those few remarks, I beg to move and request that instead of putting the question today, we should reschedule it to a time to be determined by you, so that we can get the 24 delegations necessary to pass this important Policy."
