    "content": "I want to focus our attention on the fact that this Bill has been introduced to specifically deal with the issue of transport. As a Member of Parliament from the rural areas - as my good friend, Hon. Kajwang’ said - I spend a lot of time in Nairobi. I am very interested in how the transport system of Nairobi works. When I listened to my colleagues who opposed this Bill, I felt as if we are looking at the Bill beyond the scope of what we have in front of us. I read this Bill as the Nairobi Metropolitan Area Transport Authority Bill. In Clause 6(1), the authority we propose to set up shall oversee the establishment of an integrated, efficient, effective and sustainable public transport system within the metropolitan area. It is a fact that Nairobi County has a transport problem. I live just outside Nairobi. I take close to two hours to get to Nairobi."
