    "content": "new modern railway network. If you are a trader today and you import goods from China, the time it takes for the goods to arrive in Mombasa is less than the time it will take to arrive in Kampala, which is our biggest trading partner. It is about time we have this new railway line. I have a very hopeless memory of the railway that we have right now. One day, I was traveling to somewhere around Taita-Taveta. The train just collapsed in the National Park. We had to walk in the park trying to duck elephants and hyenas. If we are serious about Vision 2030, which talks about transforming this country into a middle level income, then we do need a modern railway line. I would like to see a railway line from Mombasa, passing through Malindi up to Lamu. If we are serious about regional integration and linking up Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi, then we do need a first class railway line. With all what have been said, we have answers from the Executive trying to distinguish the myth from all what have been said. I think this is the right way to go. We need a transport facility that supports our country’s economic turn-around. I urge this august House to rise to the occasion and ensure that we do have a line that transforms this nation going forward. I stand to support. Thank you."
