    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill. It is long overdue. I wish it came in a few years ago. We would not be having the insanity that we see on our roads. I congratulate the drafters of this Bill because it has captured a wider area and I can tell you for sure that once this Authority comes into being, there are so many issues that are going to be solved especially traffic jams and the many hours that are wasted on the road. Once this Bill is operationalised, I am sure we are going to have influx of investors in this country. That is because one of the deterrence against investors is the many hours that we lose in traffic jam. Coming from a constituency where we do farming, we are the people who feed Nairobi. We have had issues over time whereby we cannot get our produce to markets within the right time. Therefore, we end up losing a lot of income as farmers. I wish to support this Bill and say that it should have come like yesterday, and it should be operationalised. I wish we had some budgetary allocation for the same, so that it can be operationalised as soon as possible."
