    "content": " Thank you, hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. As you may be aware, this is the first time I am speaking since I came back to this House. First, I would wish to start by appreciating the support of the people of Bonchari Constituency and even this House. The prayers I got assisted me to get the support. God provided the way and I got the support from the rest of the country. With regard to this Bill that we are now discussing, I wish to say that I support the Bill that proposes to amend the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) Act. Its operations should be extended to the inland of the country. This is mainly because the movement of goods from the Port to the mainland is slowed by factors outside the KPA. Therefore, KPA should be given the mandate to control the movement of goods and services to the country. This will also assist in lowering the cost of maintaining the highways. That will in turn assist the economy to grow faster. I support this Bill. Thank you, hon. Speaker."
