    "content": "We are looking at this Government and hoping that this time round, the road from Garissa to Mandera will be tarmacked, otherwise, it will not be business as usual. An amount of Kshs.42.3 billion has been earmarked for financing of foreign roads, which are roads that are funded by foreign donors. An amount of Kshs.1billion has been set aside to decongest the junctions in Nairobi City, and Kshs.1 billion is meant for new roads. Kshs.19.4 billion has been put aside for the standard gauge railway; this is the signature project of President Uhuru Kenyatta and the Jubilee Government. The first railway was constructed in the 1800s. The governments of the late President Kenyatta, President Moi, President Kibaki and former Prime Minister Raila Odinga did not see the need for a standard gauge railway. This Government saw the need to transform Kenya and the building of that railway alone will bring a five digit growth to our economy. So, if that railway is completed, five per cent will come from that infrastructure alone and we can use it for development."
