    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to support Sen. Mohamed Chute's Statement on the transparency that is being requested here, on the details of the contractor who was awarded the construction and the status of the Marsabit- Segel-Maikona Road. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the problem we have, and you will see the recurring trend in all the Statements, is that all the Members of this House are constantly asking for transparency of projects and Government programmes that are happening. It is an issue of who is doing business with any programme that has been proposed by the Government. That is the case in all these Statements that have been forwarded here. I am standing here because I am also partly affected by some of the Statements, including the issue of diaspora jobs. I did recruitment in partnership with National Employment Authority, because they called upon me. When the Government of Kenya has come out and said that it has a special programme, someone cannot stand in this House and say that they were wise not to participate. This is the Government of Kenya. Since when does the Government of Kenya, and in all fairness, through a ministry, a Government office, allow for conmen to sit and literally con young people of this country? We cannot say that we are wiser, so we did not participate. 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."
