    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. For starters, the Northern Corridor stretches for a distance of about 12,000 kilometres. About 567 kilometres of it is in Burundi, 4,000 kilometres is in the DRC and 1,328.6 kilometres is in Kenya. We also have a distance of about 3,000 kilometres in Rwanda. Therefore, when we talk about the Northern Corridor, we cannot just restrict it to Kenya. I have a request to the Committee as we look at removing road blocks in Kenya and creating one-stop border controls at Lunga Lunga, Taita Taveta, Malaba and Busia, because those are the common borders that we share with our partner States. It is also important that Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi commit to reciprocate. Traders from Kenya are often mistreated when they are doing business in other countries. As we push to have reforms in our country, which are very welcome, let us also talk to our counterparts in the partner States for reciprocation.
