    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I appreciate, Hon. Wanjiku Muhia, the Chairperson of the Committee on Regional Integration. First, I want to congratulate the Committee and the Chairperson for the good Report they have prepared. I appreciate the Report, especially on the targets they have to highlight the various Governments’ involvement in the northern and southern corridor. What is a one-stop border point? It is a project that takes care of a government moving from the central area to the crossing point from one country to another. We must recognise the involvement of Trade Mark East Africa in this project. This organisation, in conjunction with the national Governments, helped with the finances, structuring, planning, implementation and laying of the border posts. I appreciate the Committee because, through this involvement, we have good towns. It is not only about the movement of goods. I come from the border and previously, we used to cross over from Kenya to Uganda through panya routes. Now we have formalised how we cross over the borders. We have disciplined and dignified ways of crossing over from one country to the other. In any case, people joke that when you cross over, you have travelled abroad. It is as good as flying to any other country in the world. Therefore, this is a good thing. However, I request the Committee to continue with the same spirit. Highlight this for us. Let us have more budgets for these kinds of programmes so that Kenyans can get the feel of a growing Government.
