    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I wish to first of all thank all the Senators who gave me more information that I will use to ensure that this Bill takes care of all the issues. I thank Sen. Susan Kihika for fully supporting the Bill and noting the importance of planning. She spoke about the need for us to ensure that all counties which are developing have proper access to buildings. One of the key points that she raised had to do with the issue of access to buildings in the sense that any building which is constructed along the major highway without proper access causes a lot of risks to the pedestrians and motorists. I was happy that she pointed out something on the issue of strict penalties which will help me add more to the Bill. Madam Temporary Speaker, Sen. (Dr.) Zani also contributed heavily on the Bill. I am pleased that she raised some of the issues in the Bill that I would like to address. For example, the person who will be in charge of planning is the County Executive Committee (CEC) Member in charge of Transport. In most cases, CECs in charge of different dockets in the county governments do not have defined roles. Therefore, this Bill will help them to define their roles. One of the issues that Sen. (Dr.) Zani raised, which will be important for me to reiterate, is the issue of enforcement. It is important to note that all county governments have enforcement units. These are the people who will be tasked to ensure that there is clear enforcement and collection of funds. Therefore, enforcement will be enhanced. It will also create more employment opportunities as Sen. (Rev.) Waqo mentioned. Madam Temporary Speaker, because of time, I would like to thank---"
