    "content": "about personal interest.” That is because all the people who came to talk about it were talking about personal interest and not about the development of this country. On behalf of this Committee and pursuant to Standing Order No.199 (5), it is my pleasant duty to table in this House the full Report of the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing on the Inquiry into the Tendering and Construction of Nairobi-Mombasa Standard Gauge Railway. Thank you. The documents that I am tabling – and I want to mention it here because they are all here - is a letter from the Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure on the bilateral agreement between Kenya and Uganda, Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Government of Kenya and Exim Bank, MoU between Government of the Republic of China and CRBC, letter from the Embassy of Republic of China, letters from the Attorney-General approving the project, due diligence Report on China Road and Bridge Co-operation, Registration of CRB Office in Kenya, China and Bridge Engineering Company, letters from the Registrar of Companies confirming the changes of the name of CRB, CRB business licence dated 8th December 2005, letter from the Office of the President dated 13th August 2012, minutes of this Committee and commercial contracts for supply and isolation of the facilities. They are all here. I want to say that, unlike other reports that have been endorsed by few Members, this Report has been endorsed by the entire membership of my Committee. By doing that, we want to go into history books; in 100 years to come, we will be in history. The Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing will enter into the history books, that it never blocked the construction of the railway in this country. All of us have said that we want the project to continue. I now beg to table the Report"
