    "content": "without really knowing our risks as a country and how much money we owe the Chinese, we will end up losing our sovereignty. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if it is true that the Chinese are setting up police stations in Tanzania; and if we continue with this trajectory where we are now being fined Kshs1.3 billion, tomorrow, we may end up not affording to pay salaries. I would like the Committee on Finance and Budget to go to a greater height and apprise this House on all the fees that we are paying in regards to SGR. Finally, I would also like the Committee on Roads, Transportation and Housing – this is under your discretion if you decide to commit that Statement to both Committees – to investigate on what we can do. Finally, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would also like the Senate Standing Committee on Roads and Transportation to establish what we can do to encourage Kenyans to utilize that asset, especially on the other side of Narok and other areas where we do not have train services. I know that there were plans by the previous administration to extend that railway line all the way to Kisumu. I thank you."
