    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, way back in 1959, the colonial government came up with a proposal to construct a railway line via Ijara, Garissa and all the way to Nairobi. Now, what is happening in this one is that there will be a feasibility study. We have given key note areas which must be included. They are Lamu, Garissa, Isiolo, Lokichoggio and Moyale. Now, the route that will be followed will be determined by the feasibility study and there will be many factors for consideration, including the economic viability of certain projects in certain areas or, maybe, the population density. In some cases, it will just be to open up the areas to mining and other activities. But it will be a feasibility study that will give us a full picture of the exact route that will be followed. That is why we sent to the eight consultants that I read out, requests for proposals to come up with the feasibility study. The document that covers that aspect is also tabled for hon. Members to see."
