    "content": "opposing this, I am sorry because you do not understand the history of this city. I agree that this city is international as somebody has mentioned. It is the only city on this earth that has a national park. Tourists go to the Nairobi Animal Orphanage and the National Museum next door. People come all the way to see what is at the National Museum. Therefore, this is a City and is not just another town like Eldoret or Kitale where I come from. They will grow over time. I, therefore, urge Members to support this Bill. Somebody said there are too many authorities, but we want to bring order to our City. It just not a town; Nairobi is an international City. Recently, we passed a Motion to say Nairobi City is an International Monetary Center for the region. What are we talking about? When we start opposing this Bill for the sake of it, we do not understand the history of this country. Secondly, the objective of this Bill is just to have an integrated system. I wish my friend Hon. Ichung’wah was here. People who work in this City do not stay in it. If you commute from Murang’a, Kajiado and Machakos, you will realise that about 60 million people come to this City to work or do some business. Only about four million people live here. The rest of the people come from outside the city. I can tell you for free that my grandson in Kitusuru wakes up at 5.00 a.m. to get to school in Westlands. Let us put everything else aside and support this Bill so that we can have order. We need a systematic system where somebody coming from Murang’a, Kajiado, Machakos and Kiambu will get here on time because the system works. As it is today, children are suffering and I pity them. If a child is not in a boarding school and has to go kilometers away, your guess is as good as mine as to what time he or she will wake up."
