    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will start with the first question. I want to confirm that the money for the study was budgeted in tranches. The first Kshs500 million was budgeted in last year Budget, Kshs500 million was budgeted within the supplementary estimates and the balance is to be included in the new financial estimates. That is for the study. For the construction, hon. Members may remember that His Excellency the President did direct that the proceeds of the sale of the Grand Regency Hotel, the US$45 million, be reinvested and used for the development of this corridor. So, that money is still intact and being held for use as part of the Government investment. The project will begin. At least, we have the seed money and we are looking at other ways of leveraging that money and getting more players to come on board, so that we can start that project in partnership with other financiers."
