    "content": "At the conference that we attended, there was serious talk about billions of dollars that the Government had borrowed from China for the construction of an international airport. After the project was completed, it was realized that the runway was constructed on the migratory corridor for elephants. Secondly, it was situated in a sanctuary for breeding birds. By implication, there is no international airline or a serious airline operator who would fly their aircraft into that airport. It became a white elephant project. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we need to know the thinking behind the SGR in terms of what revenues we are projecting to get from it. Those revenue streams must be anchored on reality. If we are in default, are we willing to disclose that we are already past the repayment period for the SGR? What are the remedies and what is at stake? We do not want to wake up in the morning one day and find the Chinese have already invaded the Port of Mombasa or some other place. There will be need for Parliament to demand full disclosure on the SGR so that we plan our future knowing where we are going. In the interest of time, I will stop there. I support the report."
