    "content": "When we were in school, we were taught about the Tanzania-Zambia Railway (TAZARA). It was about linking and providing access for landlocked countries to ports, other frontiers and the ocean. Kenya, at this particular point in time, is having a conversation on whether our investments in infrastructure are the right ones. Mr. Speaker, Sir, if I get an opportunity to meet the distinguished leader of the delegation, the Speaker of the Assembly, and all the distinguished leaders from Zambia, it will be important for us to share experiences, particularly on aid from China and other countries as far as infrastructure is concerned, and how that can impact on Kenya. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I join you in welcoming this delegation. I assure the delegation from Zambia that even though our economy and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) might seem to be bigger, there are a lot of lessons, in terms of politics, planning for food security, managing resources, infrastructure management and foreign policy that Zambia can teach Kenya. I wish them a fruitful stay. I assure them that this is a long weekend. Monday is a public holiday. They should not be in a hurry. The Senator for Nairobi would have become the Minister for Entertainment in a Raila Odinga Government. Therefore, I hereby order, Sen. Sifuna, to ensure that the Zambian delegation is well entertained, lubricated and taken care of. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
