    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, while I also thank the Prime Minister for the answer and the good plan that the Government has for the traffic flow in the country--- One wonders what the Government thinks about, particularly in cases where a lot of fuel is consumed by stationary vehicles because of traffic jams. The Prime Minister is someone who is well-travelled and, therefore, he can see the best practices all over the world. In most cities, buses do not interfere with the traffic flow of normal road users. The problem of Nairobi is not of traffic jam but sheer mismanagement. That mismanagement has occurred because the responsible departments of the Government do not do their job. If you use Uhuru Highway, you will find trailers which occupy space for four or five vehicles. Why can the Prime Minister not issue a directive that lorries will cross the City of Nairobi between 9.00 p.m. and 5.00 a.m.? So, if any businessman wants to take his lorry out of the city, he can only do it between 9.00 p.m. and 5.00 a.m. and the rest of the day should be left for traffic to flow. This is because we are wasting a lot of money. If you try to go the Airport--- I was going to Korea the other day but I missed my flight because I was on the road for three hours. There were also many other people who missed flights because of the traffic jams. So, can we ask the Prime Minister as a matter of urgency to stop every lorry using Uhuru Highway during the day and only use it at night from 9.00 p.m. to 5.00 a.m.?"
