    "content": "For 100 years, we have not built one foot of railway line. At the time of Independence, the railway was the richest institution in this country. In fact, the railways corporation had more property than the Government. Now it is dilapidated. Look at our roads; we cannot maintain our highways because of the huge trucks on the roads. You even do not want to travel on the roads because of the tankers which do not care because of their size. If you look at the roads, they get destroyed quickly. I think that is something that we need to do to really facilitate development in this country. We can also improve commuter transport in a city like Nairobi. So, I hope when this money is collected, it should be used for the right purpose. But the Chair of the Finance Committee, I am aware that this money is already being collected and yet we are still discussing the law. What happens, should we decide not to pass the law, with the money that is already collected? Is this a law that can be back dated? I think that is an area that probably the Committee should look at."
