Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I stand to support Hon. Osotsi in this amendment. The reasoning which I have heard you cannot negate, in terms of development units, the role of ICT in driving Kenya into a middle level economy. As such, we already have prescribed a way. It is automatic. They still have to make individual cases which will be brought in. To try to negate that Konza has to grow to become a city, there are particular services and allocations which have to be given to support and grow it. As such, I want to implore the House to embrace this new concept where we are going. The Leader of the Majority Party, we must make progress."}
