    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker. I also want to make an input on this Petition occasioned by the role the transport sector plays in both the integration in East Africa and the trade position of Kenya. Kenya being a senior trading partner in the East African Community, it is important that we open up any kind of non-trade barrier which might hinder trade expansion of Kenya. It is important that whatever little that happens, we must open up. If at all there is an obstacle on the way as hon. Birdi has said, we must look at it and make sure that we open it up so that Kenya remains the most superior economy. Looking at the rise of Tanzania our immediate neighbour, the port of Dar es Salaam is opening up very fast. So, if we encourage these kinds of obstructions on the road, it means they are going to rise and eat into our market. So, it is important that we look at the Petition very seriously and make sure we open the market for the East Africa region."
