    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice in support of the approval of the Protocol on SGR, and the Report by the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing. Transport infrastructure in Africa is inadequate. It has a surface area of 30.2 square kilometres. Africa has only 89,390 kilometres of rail, 2.96 kilometres per 1,000 square kilometres. Compared with 60 kilometres per 1,000 square kilometres in Europe, the regional disparities are enormous. For that reason, I support the ratification of the Protocol on Development and Operation of SGR within the framework of the Northern Corridor Integration Project. The Committee has carried out its mandate in accordance with Section 8 of the Treaty Making and Ratification Act of 2012. The regional integration in East Africa is one of the most advanced models in Africa. With reference to Kenya, the SGR project is starting in Mombasa to Nairobi in Phase I and from Nairobi to Malaba in Phase II. It is The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
