"content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to comment a little on this important issue. I support this Motion with the following reasons: It should be looked at before we start approving so many loans for the country. As other Members have said, we are going for a loan and the other loans that we have received continue to pile up. Sometimes we do not even repay them in time. As one Member has said, KPA is having a lot of problems. Whenever we talk about it, the Government has helped it to pay off some debts. We are yet to hear why these things continue like that. I think there is some group of people in this country who just want to overload the country with loans and yet we could do without some of these loans. We could finance these constructions ourselves as a country. The Port of Mombasa is important and we need to expand it. I say this because Lamu is not going to come up taking into account that Ethiopia has turned to Egypt. They will get their goods through the Egypt Port. Sudan is having problems with us. I do not know the reason. I expect that one of these days a Government official will come and brief this House on what is going on between Uganda and Rwanda. They had a meeting with us in Lamu and they are now abandoning the project. It is important for Members to be briefed on this issue. They should take this issue seriously to find out why people are running away from us. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
