"content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker, for giving me this chance to support the PIC Report on Phase One of the Standard Gauge Railway. This is one of the projects that this country has picked and it will spur development in this country. We have been having one access avenue from Nairobi to Mombasa. I am sure that when that railway is constructed, then it will ease traffic on our roads and thus reduce the destruction of Mombasa Road. Again, accidents on the same road will reduce. The SGR will improve the economy of the towns along the railway line hence creating more businesses and employment. I also want to say that, by the completion of this railway, the growth of the economy will improve by 2.5 percent. Before I sit down, I want to thank the Government of China for bringing real development to this country. We have been relying on the West to help us to develop in democracy but now China has turned to develop the real economy and infrastructure. Thank you."
