    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me just clarify that Japan Port Consultants is an independent consulting company. It is not part of the Japanese Government. The consultancy is fully funded by the Kenyan Government. We are all concerned that this project should not suffer any delay. We want not just to create jobs in Kenya, but to open up Ethiopia, Southern Sudan and the entire northern Kenya, north of the existing rail line. We are committed to doing that. I will be seeking the support of the House as we move forward on this project with several issues that will come out of it. It is something that we need to open our country and to move forward. The rest of the country and neighbouring countries have moved with similar projects and they can see the benefits. We are determined to move on this. So, there is no hitch as of now. We will be communicating the progress as we disentangle the first item which we have done and the rest is the planning and whatever else we need in terms of voting for extra money to get this project moving."
