"content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I will go straight to the importance of ferry services. I rise to support this Petition by the good Senator for Homa Bay County. When we are in this House, we try to make sure that we support each county to generate own source revenue and deliver services better to the people. Ordinarily, when petitions are brought to this House, the Committee concerned carries out an investigation and reports its findings to the House. The report is also given to the petitioner, so that they can follow through. I beseech the Senate Standing Committee on Roads and Transport to move further and call the Maritime Authority (MA) to a discussion. The people and Homa Bay County Government should also be included, so that they get details on the importance of these islands. We talk about the blue economy but seldom do we now move forward. I hope that when we are investigating this Petition, we can move forward and pronounce ourselves as the Senate. I beseech the Chairperson of Senate Committee on Roads and Transport to introduce a Motion, so that we see a tangible outcome. Ordinarily, we call people here and grill them, but what is the outcome or take home? Even if a project is through a Public-Private Partnership (PPP), just like the Nairobi Expressway, that can also help the people of Homa Bay."
