    "content": "The Jubilee Government has done quite a lot on infrastructure. As it was said earlier, the investment in infrastructure is quite remarkable. The effects of this development will not be felt now. However, some of the priorities were upside down, for example, the Standard Gauge Railway. It would have been more advisable to have a dual carriageway between here and Mombasa. This would have spurred much more economic growth. Today, the SGR only carries containers from Mombasa to inland port but the containers go back empty. Many people are disappointed. Many towns along the road died. What the Government has done in infrastructure is very remarkable. There are roads in Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu and many other places. I hope that this Government will construct the road from Isiolo to Wajir and Mandera. This is a project that is funded by the World Bank which should have started. We hope that the project will start off before 2022. There is also the road from Garissa to the border in Liboi Town which traverses my sub county.
