    "content": "Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support this Report on the consideration of the Protocol on Development and Operation of the SGR. At the outset, while I support many things that have been said this afternoon on the consideration and the opinions of my fellow Members of Parliament, I have a few reservations which I would like to express without fear or favour. One of the opinions is regarding the Rift Valley Railways (RVR). According to the highlights that have been given by the institution, it is mentioned that the engineering technologists or technicians and craft persons are not presently registered. Therefore, they are not accountable for the work they are doing concerning engineering activities. That is one of the observations. I find it very shocking that after 118 years, Kenya has not produced the quality and calibre of employees that can do that sort of work. This Report has missed out on a few nitty-gritty issues. In as much as they have tried to get out the message that the SGR is required, there are some issues that have been missed out. As we go forward, issues like these will, perhaps, be looked into. It is true that SGR is going to bring the East African community together. That is a logical way of going forward. When you go to a place like Mombasa, it can take you three hours to go from one point to another just because of the level of traffic. That is in 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."
