    "content": "support we are receiving from multilateral agencies; the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, that you saw this week. The President has sent me to talk to the Chinese Government. I have been there three times. I have acquired the notoriety of being closer to the Chinese administration. A significant portion of these roads are being delivered by contractors from China. There is a programme we are working on together. It should give us hope that most of the roads will be under construction in the next two or three months. I assure most of the Senators here that by the time we go to the next election, we will have made significant progress in sorting out the pending roads across the country. I am working hard, but unfortunately; infrastructure projects are not like instant coffee, where you brew it at a press of a button. You must work hard to plan, strategize, and negotiate financial support. You have seen the President traveling out of the country on and off. I went with the President this weekend to Europe. For three nights that we were out of the country, we slept in the plane for two. We slept in Europe for one night. The negotiations we were making are massive infrastructure matters, and you will see the results. These things require careful planning. One philosopher said ‘It is better to take one-year planning and deliver in six months than to try to do something quickly in three months and fail to deliver’. We shall deliver."
