    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to seek a clarification from hon. Kamanda. I wish to thank him, first of all, for a very good presentation, very eloquently presented. I just want to seek two clarifications from the Chair. One, this is a long-term project that is going to affect our people economically and socially. Has the Ministry or even the Committee thought about conducting a kind of a social or health impact assessment of the interaction between these people and our people for a period of four years? The second one is that this is a long distance railway line, and there are possibilities of accidents. It is important for us to plan in advance. There is a railway line and alongside it there is a road and we are aware of road accidents that have been happening on our roads. Has the Committee envisaged the construction of trauma centres along the railway line just in case accidents happen, so that our country is well prepared? I am asking this because we are investing a lot of money as a country in infrastructure development projects; but we seem to forget the health and the social impact that are likely to come with the development of the projects that are to be undertaken."
