    "content": "There has been debate whether or not we should have had a single or double track. There have been indications that other countries have managed to get a double track with about the same cost as we are doing with a single track. Be that as it may, I hope that after it gets to Nairobi, the proposed extension to Malaba and hopefully beyond in the second phase will be followed so that we can move the goods across the border. I hope we will not create new congestion, as it is in Mombasa, at Malaba if the subsequent phase beyond Malaba fails. If that would be the case, the negative that would arise out of this would be extremely heavy for the fragile economies of the counties at the border. In this case, it is going to be Busia County. We will have transferred part of the congestion issues in Mombasa to the next port of exit but since this is going to be part of the consultancy study I hope that the Committee, in looking at it next time, will pay special attention and see that we are facilitating movement from Kenya across into the neighbouring countries."
