    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also want to thank the Cabinet Secretary for being very candid in answering the questions here. I want to first congratulate them for a very good work done in Kisumu Port. They have put up a very magnificent facility. However, this work was supposed to spread to other parts of the lake, so that the work is complete. Once you do one part of the lake, you need to transport goods from one point to the other. We have other ports like Homa Bay, Asembo Bay, Mageta Island, Koyamo Island and Usenge beaches, which have not developed and yet, they were supposed to have been developed after the Kisumu Port. Additionally, the transportation of goods from Mombasa through the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) come to Naivasha and they are dumped there. Nonetheless, the railway gauge to Kisumu is very small. Therefore, it accommodates very few goods to the Port of Kisumu, thus inhibiting trade between Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. The KDF were doing a very good job, but it appears the work has stalled. Could the Cabinet Secretary tell us when they will resume this work and whether there are plans to complete all the ports that I have mentioned in that regard? I thank you."
