Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. My thanks to our Hon. Leader of the Majority Party for the opportunity to second on behalf of my colleague Hon. Pkosing. It is in the spirit of collective responsibility as Members of the Jubilee Coalition that I second on his behalf. This Bill on Nairobi Metropolitan Area Transport Authority is very important for this country and more so for those of us who live in the metropolis area, that is, Nairobi, Kajiado, Kiambu, where I come from, Machakos and Murang'a. The establishment of this Authority as a body corporate speaks volumes about the ...

a.m. on a Wednesday morning, there must be a good public transport system. Therefore, this Nairobi Metropolitan Area Transport Authority Bill is not just speaking to the question of urban transportation within the metropolis, but it is also creating an effective and efficient means of interconnecting our cities and small towns around the capital city. It is even allowing Kenyans to buy property and houses in outlying districts, so that we all do not cramp within the city and create slum areas.

You can imagine the number of people who live in Mathare, Kibra, Korogocho and other slum areas, people who can afford housing which will be built under this new housing scheme.

Today, they can only live in a slum area because that is where they are able to afford rent which is charged for housing in ...

way to the Airport, they will provide a meaningful bus corridor where we will move people enmasse to the CBD. Since I can see I am short of time let me say that this Bill will facilitate not just the efficient system of public transportation within the metropolis but also make housing cheap for Kenyans who are living within Nairobi. With those few remarks, I beg to second this Bill.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise on a point of order in relation to the question of public participation. I listened to the Chairman of Departmental Committee on Energy. He pointed a number of areas where the Committee had an opportunity to conduct public participation. Public participation, Hon. Speaker, you can remember in the 11th Parliament, created a lot of problems for the then Budget and Appropriations Committee. I am careful not to land in the same shoes my predecessor did. I do not know whether it will be right for us to have some sort of framework on public ...
