    "content": "Thank you. I am very excited that this Bill is proposing to introduce 1.5 per cent tax on all imported commodities to ensure that we build a standard gauge railway from Mombasa all the way to Busia or Malaba. This is because the railway system that we have is the one which we inherited from the colonialists. We have never done anything in the last 50 years to improve our infrastructure. The other day when we met with some investors they said that it is cheaper to import any item from Europe to Mombasa than to transport the same from Mombasa to Nairobi. That is a major difference in terms of the distance and in order to ensure that we reduce the cost of doing business, we must ensure that we invest in this modern electric railway line.
