    "content": "Thank you for giving me this chance, hon. Speaker. I would like to request, under Standing Order No. 44(2)(c), a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure regarding the tender process of the Mombasa-Malaba Standard Gauge Railway. I would like to know why the Government single sourced and awarded the tender to China Bridge and Road Construction Company. The Statement should indicate whether China Bridge and Road Construction Company has the capacity to build the Railway. If they have the capacity then we should have the evidence that they have been in construction of railways, at least, for the last ten years and also the cost. The Statement should also indicate whether China Bridge and Road Construction Company has the capacity to provide the rolling stock, and if so provide evidence or facts about the same. I would also like to know whether there was due diligence by the Government of Kenya done on the China Bridge and Road Construction Company to build the railway. I would like this Statement to be tabled through the Leader of Majority Party."
