    "content": "the SGR. I support it because it is a well-thought out project and it is long overdue. This will take our transport system into the 21st Century. We all know that the railway line that we are using is the one that we read in history - the Kenya-Uganda Railway - which has become obsolete. It is of no use to the country and the region. If we pass this Motion, we will allow the four countries to construct the railway line that will assist in trade and improve efficiency in terms of doing business as has been summarised here. Hon. Speaker, those of you who were in primary school in the 1960s will remember how prestigious the railway was. As children, I remember we used to feel that when we grow up, we would like to work for the railway corporation as locomotive drivers. What I am getting at is that we should bring back the glory that was there in the past. This is a major economic activity that will open up the region in terms of trade and transport. It will help create wealth and employment throughout the region."
