    "content": "I know with the Nairobi Metropolitan Area Transport Authority, we will have improved infrastructure. We will have a better controlled traffic system because the drivers and vehicles will be licensed by the Nairobi Metropolitan Area Transport Authority. We will have better control of Nairobi and its environment. The situation now where matatus park all of over will be a thing of the past and the Nairobi Metropolitan Area Transport Authority will manage the situation. My challenge to the Nairobi Metropolitan Area Transport Authority is that they should go to other cities and see the kind of mass transport system that those countries have invested. I think Nairobi is long overdue for a metro transport system that will allow people to commute in and out of Nairobi. This will help in reducing traffic jam. People driving from Mombasa to Nairobi do not have to be dropped off in Nairobi. They can be dropped off anywhere else and they can use metro transport to Nairobi. So, if we pass this Bill, the Nairobi Metropolitan Area Transport Authority will help in making Nairobi a modern city, one that is well organised and a city that we will be proud to call our own. With those few remarks, I support this Bill. If there will be any changes that we can propose as the leadership of those counties surrounding Nairobi, we will bring them to the Committee and discuss them. I believe there are some areas we need to look at especially on educating our people on how this the Nairobi Metropolitan Area Transport Authority is going to affect them. How will it affect the matatu business or our markets? Those are things we can put in this Bill to help our people. Thank you"
