    "content": "these areas. These are the challenges that will continue being with us for many years to come because we have not done proper spatial planning. What has it done to this country? We are now slowly turning our towns into big slums which are totally inefficient. This will create more poverty and misery and, therefore, we will not create any decent living for our citizenry. Therefore, Kenyans have faith in the manpower of this Senate; that we can create prosperity through Bills like the one which is before this House. All the clauses that have been enumerated here are geared towards safety, earnings, value enhancement, environmental conservation, safe housing, water supply, health and other services, particularly, the storm and water drainage system. If it rains in Nairobi like it did today, you will get traffic jam within minutes. Unless we have an orderly way of handling these things through this kind of planning, it will be difficult to create safe, decent and inclusive systems within our county governments. I hope that this Bill will be assented to quickly when it is passed in Parliament for our counties to implement because it has a huge potential of creating urban prosperity for the good and prosperity of our citizens. I support this Bill."
