    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have three Statements. The first statement is on the revitalization of the Port of Kisumu. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No. 53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Roads, Transportation and Housing regarding the current state, operational challenges, and future plans for the revitalization of the port of Kisumu.

The deterioration of the rail connection from Mombasa to Kisumu has led to a steep decline in transit cargo volumes over the past decades. While the port still handles some local and specific transit cargo, overall volumes have dwindled due to a lack of critical mass, inefficient transport infrastructure, and The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
