    "content": "Narok who are suffering from the effects of floods because of what informed the poor planning by the traditional paramount chief. The Government, as we speak, is using a lot of money to purchase land for development of social amenities. Some of those towns are poorly planned. You cannot have space for development of schools, hospitals or any social amenity. It becomes very difficult for the Government to plan. That is why you see even in large cities like Nairobi buildings are being brought down because they have encroached on road reserves and riparian areas. It simply boils down to poor planning. This Bill will control the categorisation of towns, cities, municipalities and markets. Each categorisation will attract certain levels of social amenities. When investors come from abroad, they know their economic or financial muscle and that is how they will decide to invest in a city, municipality or town. When we refer to a small village market as a city, investors may shy away from investing in our country because they will be turned away by the small market that we refer to as a city. They may even presume that all our cities are like that particular village we are calling a city simply because it is a county headquarters or something of the sort. That is why I do strongly support the Bill."
