    "content": "Many Members have also remarked and confirmed that this city has grown with those kinds of interventions. We cannot continue to rely on matatus and boda bodas in this city because this is an international city. It is equal to any other city in the world. When I look at the transport sector, there is sufficient money. That is why Uber came and within a very short time, it is thriving to the point that the drivers are buying brand new cars from CMC Motors using money from the Uber business. There is money in the transport sector. What lacks is the policy transport intervention to guide Kenyans on how to build the next level of transportation in this city. This Bill comes at the right time. It is high time we had a serious and comprehensive policy intervention and plan that will serve us for 50 to 100 years. I do not see any problem. A metropolitan light train system like the one in Dubai can be designed here. It is very easy. That kind of a train system along Uhuru Highway or any other road does not take space. It is very easy to push such a system along the Nairobi River. It is very easy to create that system. What lacks is the intervention at the policy level. This Bill comes at the right time. It should be supported by all right-thinking Kenyans because we need to move forward. I look at this city as being equally good, superior and developed as any other city in the world. If we do not move quickly and implement this, we are going to slowly choke. There is nothing wrong with Kenyans. Kenyans want to be orderly. They appreciate order, but we are letting them down by not creating systems and policies that will make them move to the next level. With those few remarks, I support."
