    "content": "I am sorry for that. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to support this Motion. This is a matter which we also dealt with as the Public Investments Committee (PIC). We looked at the issues that were in this railway project. As much as we might be having some troubles especially on procurements and other matters which are not consistent with the rules and the law of this country, there are projects which are major to this country which will go a long way to bring this country in tandem with the rest of the world. We have a railway that is 100 years old and it is no longer serving this Republic. On the introduction of the SGR, we felt that it will go a long way in helping this country especially in matters of connection with other nations and improving the economy of this nation. I support the Chairman and the Members of the Committee for this Report on the Ratification of the Protocol on Development and Operations of the SGR within the Framework of the Northern Corridor Integration Project. Sometimes we differ with most people in procurement and partisanship among the people who will do this project. We should ensure that whatever goes on with all the national projects which have been initiated is done in the fairest way and should follow the provisions of the Public Procurement and Oversight Authority (PPOA). We should also ensure that public money is used properly. I support this Motion and state that we would like to see this project moving on."
