    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the most important thing for this country is development. We are talking of development across the country. We are not talking about development in small sectors or sports. His Excellency the President mentioned that we would have a second transport corridor starting from Lamu to Isiolo in the middle of the country and a northward branch starting from Moyale and to Ethiopia and then from Isiolo to Lokichogio, to Juba and beyond. That in itself will open up development for this country. No country can develop without proper, efficient and well co-ordinated transport network. Kenya is a developed country in its right because we have an efficient transport system from Mombasa to Malaba and beyond. What does that mean? If you look at all the developments in the country, in terms of universities, research institutes, secondary schools, quality primary schools, industries and true development in the essence of the word, all that is happening as a result of the railway line that was built over 100 years ago. That is true for every country. Where there is transport system constructed on land, be it road or rail, there is development that emerges or starts and gets sustained by the people for the benefit of the people themselves."
