    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support this very invaluable Bill for various reasons. The major reason is that Nairobi is a very important city in East Africa, Africa and the world. Given that that is the case, it is important to understand that Nairobi is the capital city of Kenya and hosts many global institutions. It is an important destination of many people around the world. Given the value it adds to the world, Nairobi becomes very important around the world. The cost of traffic jam in Nairobi is exorbitant in the sense that the amount of money that directly and indirectly costs the taxpayer is extremely high. Before I dwell on Nairobi and its networks, it is important that we see, at the global level, what traffic jams really do. A study in the United States (US) indicates that a traffic jam can cost a country as high as $124 billion per year. Given that situation, the US decided to invest in the road networks and infrastructure and look at ways of easing traffic jams around the world. Another study in the United Kingdom (UK) indicates that it costs nearly £1,000 per capita per annum. That is quite a huge amount of money for an individual. Therefore, in 2030, it is estimated that the cost of traffic jam in the US could sky rocket to about $300 billion.
