    "content": "Thank you very much for giving me a chance to also contribute to this Motion. I rise to oppose the building of the second terminal by the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA). It is a good idea but at a wrong time because the economy of this country at the moment is not very sound. So many things are happening in this country. Maybe we are burdening the country with many projects like this one. Even if we are borrowing, it is a debt the people of Kenya will repay. Why am I saying this? It is because of what we are reading about countries like Uganda and Rwanda relocating to the Dar es Salaam Port to transport their goods. That is money that we were expecting through the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR). If, indeed, it is going to be the way it should, there is no need for us to borrow money to build a second terminal. Look at the Kenya Airways (KQ). The other day we read that KQ sold 200 pilots to Ethiopia. It means our national carrier is also not doing very well. So, I stand to oppose. Thank you."
