    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. First of all, I want to start by thanking hon. Members for the interest they have demonstrated in the area of public works. I want to thank them for the very useful and valuable contributions that they have made. I want to assure them that we have listened very carefully. All officers from my Ministry are here. They have listened and taken note of the various comments, suggestions and criticisms which have been leveled. I want to assure hon. Members that we are serious. We want to improve on what we do and the way we do it. I particularly want to thank Mr. Ali Mwakwere who seconded this Motion. Again, he underscored the importance of infrastructure. In fact, he said: “No infrastructure, no development”. I cannot agree with him more. He has got it absolutely right. We need to build quality infrastructure in order to pave way for development in all the other sectors of our economy. I want to thank, in particular, the Member for Kitui South, Mr. Muoki, for his useful contributions on behalf of the relevant Departmental Committee. He raised a number of issues and stressed the need to fund the Ministry of Public Works properly. He stressed the need to fund this Ministry well in order to give it adequate funds to carry out this important mandate. I want to thank Mr. Muoki for this support."
