    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support. Indeed, I want to applaud the Bill for having identified targeted categories. When it comes to rapid transport, bus lanes and buses have identified people with disabilities, the elderly, pregnant women and parents travelling with children under five years old. This goes a long way in enhancing the quality of life of our citizens, which is such an inherent aspect of Article 28 of the Constitution on the dignity of life. Indeed, we know that the average Kenyan spends over 16 hours outside their homes. They wake up at 4.00 O’clock in the morning and get home after 10.00 p.m. At least six to seven hours could very well be spent in traffic, not to mention the economic cost of being stuck in traffic jams every day. It has been estimated we lose about Ksh58.4 million daily running into billions of shillings. As we go along and build the rapid transport system, we should take into consideration and not forget to construct pavements in counties, so that it is not dangerous and impossible for people to walk along the roads. With these few remarks, I support."
