    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to support this Petition. First and foremost, transport is about equity in the country, which is in the Constitution. What is happening in the Port of Mombasa or any other place with water mass happens to other citizens of this country in any part of the country. For equity and there having been details as to the budget and the preparedness of the House having allocated monies to solve this problem, the Government should move with speed. Even before our Committee proceeds to Homa Bay, this matter should have even been sorted because of the urgency it has, especially on the issue safety. Private entrepreneurs are the ones operating there, yet in Mombasa, the ferries there belong to the Government and give services for free to residents. There is no equity because it is a private entrepreneur and the people have to pay. It is very important that these ferry services are offered to Kenyans in Homa Bay, so that they can enjoy the privileges other Kenyans in all other parts of the country are enjoying. I heard Sen. Faki say that I do not have a water mass in Makueni. I want to inform him that I am preparing Thwake Dam in Makueni, which is going to be the biggest dam in East and Central Africa. I will, therefore, also need ferries to be connecting Makueni and Kitui Counties."
