    "content": "The ADB is supporting us again in the construction of this road, but ADB is also ready to support us on the road from Lamu to Mombasa, Tanga, Pangani, Bagamoyo and Dar es Salaam. On other infrastructure projects, let me mention those in the energy sector. In the electricity subsector for example, we have been doing two things. Whenever one of our countries has electricity at the border and there is no electricity on the other side of the border, people on the other side of the border are connected to electricity from the other country. We have done this in Namanga where power from Kenya has been extended to Namanga on the Tanzanian side and Longido, further on. We did the same at Sirare on the Tanzanian side and Isebania on the Kenyan side. Secondly, we are building a power transmission line, the 400 KV line from Tanzania to Namanga where the Tanzanian electricity grid will be connected to the Kenyan grid. This way power from Tanzania will be made available to Kenya and vice versa. Our two countries are now discussing about ways to extend the gas pipeline from Tanzania to Kenya, so as to enable Kenya produce power from a cost effective source. Hon. Speaker, on investments in trade, our two countries are able to develop strong bonds of co-operation. For us in Tanzania, Kenya is not a competitor but a strategic partner."
