    "content": "Coming back to transport as a specific, the biggest problem we now have in Nairobi is traffic snarl ups and the amount of wastage that goes with it. In many other cities, if you are, say, past Westlands, you are in another county. A good example is Harare: The first traffic lights are over 20 kilometres away. It is not a city to borrow from but, I can tell you that if you get there, traffic is managed in a manner that the first traffic lights are 20 kilometres away. Where is 20 kilometres out of Nairobi? Whether you go South, North or East, anytime you do 20 kilometres, you are in another county. I support this because of its intent, but I believe there is much that needs to be done for purposes of details. Again, we cannot prescribe everything in legislation like this. There are many other things that need to be looked into. There are all those fears in terms of how we look at the issue of resources. In itself, the authority can generate resources. There might only be a problem now in terms of resource sharing. We will be generating resources in transport as a sector or a sub- sector for all the six or so counties. How do you share a portion to Murang’a or Kajiado counties? These are the things that need to be looked at as we consider this piece of legislation."
