    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as we do this, I want to request KPA to move with speed and not only reclaim what was theirs originally, but to invest resources and, most importantly, in the Kisumu inland port. That is because Kisumu is going to be the hub of the East African Community (EAC). It cannot be the hub of the EAC if the very basic instrument of promoting trade – the inland port – is dilapidated. So, once this Bill is passed, we hope that KPA will move with speed, put resources into this, develop it and ensure that by the time we are done with the railway line from Mombasa down to Kisumu, even them, they are up and running. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the distance between Kisumu and Jinja is so short. If things are working and bearing in mind that Uganda is one of our major trade partners, this will spur growth. This will ensure that this country grows in terms of its economy."
