    "content": "One of the main issues that Mr. Muli promised to address has to do with the concession of the Kenya Railways. We know it is a very big issue. Another issue is the congestion at the Port of Mombasa. The cost of transport in this country is quite high. When he says that he is going to work on it, including the menace on our roads, then really he is somebody we should look out for. He also promised to address the issue of encroachment on railway land and its corridors, especially in the slums of Kibera and Mukuru. He promised to deal with that matter and incorporate in his solution all the stakeholders, so that those poor slum brothers and sisters of ours also benefit from the scheme that he has in mind. The Jubilee Government promised Kenyans a standard gauge railway. He said that he will work on that. He promised to maintain all the railway lines. There is the issue of unnecessary deaths on our roads. He promised to look at this matter. The greatest headache is the duty free shops at our airports. This is an issue about which we took him on as a Committee. He gave an assurance that he was briefed on this matter, and he would work on it. Our second nominee was Eng. John Kipng’etich Mosonik. This is a very decent person, as the Chairman put it. He is a very good man. He is very learned. He is an electrical engineer. He has an MBA in Strategic Management. He has a Master of Science in Finance. This good man has a Master of Science in Strategic Focus. Currently he is undertaking a PhD, I do not know in which one of these areas. With regard to his experience, I think the Chairman put it very clearly. He did good work for our industrialization sector, especially with the Sameer Group of Companies. He also worked with Telkom Kenya and the defunct Kenya Posts and Telecommunications Corporation. I would like to tell my colleagues that these people are qualified for the job. As a Committee, we unanimously agreed to adopt these two names. I beg to urge that these two names be adopted by the House."
