"content": "For any country to develop, today as we speak, it must have good infrastructure. The biggest economy in the world is the USA. If you read economic journals, you will find that 18 per cent of the global trade is controlled by USA, 9 per cent by China, 8 per cent by Japan, 5 per cent by Germany and 4 per cent by Britain and Italy. But today, the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India and China) have moved and pulled the rag from the feet of developing countries. Why have they done it? It is because they have put a lot of money in infrastructural development and especially, the railway. If you consider how often we repair Mombasa Road because of the use of big trucks and how much we lose in repairing it--- Each lorry has to be escorted by armed guards unlike the railway line which will pull hundreds of carriages without guards. It will not destroy our roads and so this is a worthy project, irrespective whether it is from Jubilee or CORD. It is beneficial to this country."
