    "content": "investors have even been put off by poor planning in our country, which has pushed them to invest in other countries. So, this Bill will bring order. It will also beautify our nation and counties. When people visit us, they can see the beauty and proper planning of our cities. They will also see the serious mind behind that planning. Madam Temporary Speaker, I am so impressed by Clause 10(4) on the penalties. The penalties suggested here are good because Kenyans are known for breaking laws. However, this Bill caters for penalties in case one breaks the provisions of this Bill once it is passed. This will in turn prevent us from making any mistake from the beginning. Madam Temporary Speaker, the Bill is very relevant to our nation. It will help us improve on what we are currently doing. We will create many job opportunities for our people. I even suggest the use of Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras, so that anything that happens within the city can easily be noted. For instance, criminal activities and driving with disregard to law. I hope Sen. Olekina can take note of this. This will minimize the insecurity bedeviling most of the counties that are growing very fast economically. This Bill again will take care of pollution. Most of the time, there is a lot of pollution on our roads. However, with proper planning and follow up, we also take care of our environment. Finally, a lot of road reserves have been grabbed. As we think of implementing this Bill once it is enacted, we need to see how we can revert back the grabbed land. This is because it has happened even within the counties. Unless we take proper measures from the beginning, we will have already lost a lot of the land. There is need for this Bill to also take care of grabbed road reserves. I support the Bill and congratulate the Sen. Olekina for sponsoring it."
