    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support the Report of the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing. I am one of the Members who supported the Committee on this issue because I was aware my people were going to benefit in terms of transport. Some of my people live far from the main road and most of them will benefit from this project. I wish to request the Committee to investigate what is happening in some parts of my constituency, namely Kalembwani, Nzeveni and Ngaamba. The Chinese are using very strong machines and about 200 houses have cracked. This is very serious. As we finish with this, there is need for the Committee to investigate that matter. The area residents were very happy waiting to welcome railway transport. However, it has turned to be a nightmare to them. I visited that area and I was surprised to see bricks falling off from brick houses and other houses with very big cracks. There is a lot of noise from the machines and families with small children are suffering. I wish to request this House to send some Members to investigate this as we wait for completion of the railway line to see whether the residents can be compensated. I support halfway because the issue of my people should be looked into."
