    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, may I thank the Committee and the hon. Member who raised these issues. Because of the intervention of the Committee and the issues raised by hon. Keter, we now know contrary to the contradictory positions which were initially there, that the Government has not actually entered into any contract or any financial obligations. The Committee is now recommending that if that is going to happen, then we do it in accordance with the law. Because of that great hon. Member’s intervention, the Government is now being required by the Committee to undertake a survey between Nairobi and Malaba and, happily, through Kisumu also. This way, we will definitely have a time frame for expecting something from that part of the country. I have one issue about consultancy. We have professionals who are mature. My hope is that as much as the Committee has recommended that the Government should engage an independent supervision consultant in the matter, we are not going to search for Japanese, Chinese, Italians and so on. I hear some of them are hanging around thinking that this is meant for them. Let us give Kenyans an opportunity to undertake this."
