    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the Assistant Minister for the answer although I am not satisfied with it. As we all know that with the concessioneering of Kenya Railways to Sheltam DTY of South Africa was, almost, fraudulently done. Kenyans are yearning to have their railways back. The Rift Valley Railways (RVR) has failed. It owes the Kenya Railways almost Kshs600 million, which is against the regulations of the contracts that they signed. This alone, is enough for the Government to repossess the railways, so that it can be run by the Kenya Railways. The RVR has not put a penny into the railway line. This was also stated in the agreement. They were supposed to invest more money. Up to now, they have not invested any money, apart from recycling the money that they are obtaining from the taxpayers and users of the railways. Therefore, I would really still want a clarification and confirmation from the Assistant Minister to this House, that the RVR has failed. They should make a move to repossess the business from them and give it to the Kenya Railways."
