"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank my colleague, Sen. Kagwe, for bringing this matter to the Floor of the House so that we can pay proper attention to it and look for remedies which can help. I enjoin my voice by saying that we interrogated the Cabinet Secretary and pointed out areas which need attention so that the project does not become a white elephant. Those were my words. In English, there is something called “skepticism.” Skepticism does not mean that you are opposed but means that you want to be more enlightened. In public policy, skeptics are useful because they make you look twice in making decisions. This House will fail in its duty if it does not have skeptics. In parliamentary tradition, skepticism is extremely important in interrogating public policy. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
