    "content": "However, I have some few observations to make. When the Minister was moving the Motion, he talked about the Kenya Ports Authority. He kept on referring to Mombasa, Lamu and other ports along the Indian Ocean. However, he forgot that we also have ports along Lake Victoria. The ports along Lake Victoria on the Kenyan side are not developed. If you look at our sister East African states like Uganda and Tanzania, you will find that they have developed the ports along Lake Victoria unlike Kenya. This is what has done a lot of disservice to the people of Nyanza and Western provinces. If ports along Lake Victoria are developed then Nyanza and Western provinces will definitely open up for businesses. So, I wish to urge the Minister, as he considers allocating funds to Mombasa and Lamu ports, he should also consider ports along Lake Victoria such as Kisumu, Homa Bay, Kendu Bay and Luanda Kotieno. This will open up Nyanza and Western provinces. I would also like to inform the Ministry that the East African States have developed their ports so nicely that there are a lot of businesses taking place along their ports. If the same is done in Kenya, these areas will open up for business."
