    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, maybe I will start with hon. Yinda's question. It is true that the RVR had breached the concession agreement. That is the reason why notices as per the concession document have been put into place. That is the first process of dealing with the issues at hand. The same applies to hon. Namwamba's question. First of all, we must agree that the workers went on strike because of salaries. That shows that the company did not pay them the salaries on the due date. That also means that the company is not doing well. The company is not doing well. It is true, as Mr. Yinda says, that it owes the Kenya Railways Corporation money. That is also another ground upon which notices have been prepared to that effect. In response as to who are the Directors, first of all, I am not aware of a South African company called Sheltam which is holding concession, as Mr. Yinda has said. The concession agreement is between the Kenyan Government, Kenya Railways Corporation and the Rift Valley Railways Kenya Limited. The Directors are:- Roy Puffet W.G. Kruger D.K. Luptigan C.C. Church T.G. Cadge G.M. Gachui A.P.K Wainaina P.K. Mwangi P.R. Sharon G.L.C. Salvoden Three of them are South African, three Kenyans and two Mauritians."
