    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to acknowledge that the documents that have been laid on the Table of this House are known to this Government. We have had meetings with the Minister and the top leadership of the RVR, Kenya Railways Corporation and even officials from the Ugandan Government. This matter is receiving attention. I know that there are some issues which the Minister may not, at this moment, be in a position to reveal here. However, there is a meeting which I have convened on this issue and it is going to take place tomorrow. The Minister from Uganda is going to come here, the officials of RVR are also going to be present. We are going to go deep into the issue of this matter. The Government is very concerned that the railway services are almost coming to a standstill. By the admission of RVR, on a monthly basis, they are losing US$1 million. There are also issues to do with the financiers; the International Finance Corporation (AFC) and KFW. This matter is far more complicated. I would, therefore, like to plead with the House to give a little time so that the Government can deal with this matter. We will then come here and issue a much more comprehensive Statement on this matter. Thank you."
