    "content": "I represent a neighbourhood which has the massive Gikomba Market, Eastleigh business hub and Jua Kali. All those areas are lumped together in one district without any structures or ownership. There is no management when there is a fire, flooding or natural disaster. There are simply not enough social amenities or facilities at the time of crisis. Many countries are moving to create smart cities and neighbourhoods which have proper facilities. This Bill contributes in a significant way in creating the structures that will inform the county of the basic needs of the people down there and give ownership to them. So, I welcome it in that sense. However, I am a bit cautious in handing over the responsibility of naming those municipalities, board leadership and town leadership to the county governments that are already overworked and are under a lot of pressure. Therefore, I hope that they will carry out this particular task efficiently once the Bill is passed so that there is uniformity and that in every neighbourhood you will get the structures in place to benefit from the opportunities of decision-making and development that this particular Bill offers."
