    "content": "In terms of ports and harbours in this country, we have been hearing about the Lamu Port, the much talked about Lamu Port-South Sudan-Ethiopia Transport ( LAPSSET) Project, but one wonders what is happening to the port of Mombasa. The port of Mombasa and the northern corridor exist and we need to invest in that corridor which is serving this country and many other neighbouring countries. We need to invest in that properly while we await the talked about massive Lamu Port Project. Corruption has been talked about in this country quite often, but as we go ahead, this country is very good at making five steps forward and 100 steps backwards. We gauged the corruption crusade in the last few years. We dismantled the Anti-Corruption Commission and it took us time to put people in place. Today we hear that even the people who were appointed were again stopped by the court. We must be serious in the fight against corruption. We have been talking about reforms, but police reforms are lagging behind. We need serious reforms like we are having at the Judiciary. Unless we have reforms, this Constitution will not see the light of the day. Finally, on the County Commissioners, the Government needs to be serious, so that we do not just place people there without any law. I support."
