    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I will say just two things in support of the Petition that has been presented by Sen. M. Kajwang’. First, I find it a clever way of pushing forward the accountability agenda. What Sen. M. Kajwang’ has done is that together with the petitioners, they have identified the funding that has been set aside for this project, including the vote head. With that, it will be difficult for anyone to say that funds are not available for the project because the question would be, where was Kshs300 million allocated for the project diverted to? Therefore, it is a clever way of ensuring accountability before they start spending. Secondly, is the importance of marine transportation in the whole issue of blue economy. It is true that marine transportation is an integral part of the blue economy. Without transportation of human beings, it is difficult to extend services and deliver goods from one point to another, especially on the lake transportation corridors. Madam Temporary Speaker, I sit on the Committee on Roads and Transportation and want to commit to my brother, who is also a Member of the Committee. Sen. Sifuna said that Sen. Tabitha Mutinda must make sure that she visits the islands. Maybe it will be an opportunity for her to visit those islands, and I believe she will come back safe. I thank you."
