    "content": "We need to adhere to the law and that is the most important thing to do. In the area of physical planning, we have had a big problem. People have lost expensive property. If you look at it carefully, you will find that there must have been approvals according to some plans. But it turns out later that it should not have been. You do not hear people who approved these things suffering anything while the owners are losing enormous amounts. Some even go ahead and commit suicide. We must adhere to the law. As citizens, we must have a culture of adhering to the law. Enforcement officers have no option but to adhere to the law as it is passed by Parliament. They have done a good job. We have a good law but, as a country, we must adhere to it. Enforcement officers must do so too. Nairobi has many problems. As the Hon. Member for Suba North was saying, even the naming of streets is a problem. Do you know what difference it would make if all the streets were clearly named? I do not know how much money it would cost and how much time we would spend so that you would know exactly where you are. We have google maps, but it cannot help you if the streets are not named. This is a simple matter that we need to do. Look at the matatu stage. We do not have matatu stages. We just have places where matatus stop. I do not know how they determine fares if there are no defined stages. We also do not have bus parks. Look at the railway go-down where we have the Easy Coach and the Guardian. It is a mess. All that is needed is for it to be paved and shades and bays to be put up, so that it is known at this bay the bus will be leaving at this time. We need this law. Once again, let me appreciate the Committee for the good work done. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support."
