Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. This is a very important Motion and I beg to support it. I know very well, one of the areas affected most is my constituency; an area where most of the business and international communities are housed.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I live just on the outskirts of the City. It used to take me about ten minutes to the City Centre. These days it takes me two hours to reach the City. This is the mess that our roads are in. One of the reasons why we are having this mess is our failure to invest in infrastructure. We have expanded one side of the road network and we have failed to do the same to all the roads linking the City Centre.

The second problem is that the chaos we are experiencing today were brought about by one individual; the former Member of Parliament for Juja, the late George Thuo. He conspired and “killed” the Kenya Bus Service. That is why we are not having an alternative means of transport. Therefore, the matatu industry has taken advantage of this situation and is blackmailing the Government and the public. When they go on strike, we fail to find an alternative and, therefore, until and unless we come up with an alternative transport, we shall continue suffering.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, people who want to travel from here to the airport cannot make it. People who are taking children to school or people who want to go to work cannot make it because of the chaos we experience on our roads. Unless we come up with a solution and the county government works together with other elected leaders and stakeholders to find a solution to this problem, the problem will continue.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Nairobi City is the only city in the world that does not have a stake in public transport. That is why we are having these dangerous criminals taking over the very important sector in transport. We must come up with a solution and we must work with the county government as elected leaders in Nairobi and other stakeholders to put order in our roads.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to thank you, first of all, for giving me this opportunity. I also want to thank hon. Sakaja for coming up with this Bill, which I think is an exceptional opportunity for the youth. I want to say that the youth now should have no excuse.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thirdly I want to say this: The opportunity is now there for the youth. The problem is that, and I hope hon. Sakaja is listening, we should have the mechanism of checking that the ministries, the Governors and the county governments are giving the 30 per cent opportunity to the youth. The problem is that, sometimes, unscrupulous businessmen take advantage and register their companies using the youths’ names.
