"content": "into the inland and across the USA. That is why the USA economy became integrated. That is exactly what the Government is doing. The Government will not support a loan that will affect our people in future, especially if the project will not return on investment. This particular project will return on investment. Let us not just look at it in terms of making sure that we do not burden our people with debt. In this case, maybe, we are actually burdening our future generations with incomes. It is the future generations that will enjoy incomes from the loan. Our biggest competitive advantage in the East African region is that Nairobi is the financial capital of this region. It looks like there is no challenge as at now. If you look at what the Musevenis of the world are doing, the clear challenge that is coming to Kenya is that people are trying to compete with us in terms of transport and infrastructural services that we provide to this region. We must think forward. I support the Government. This is something they need to do very quickly. Otherwise, we will lose our attraction, competitive advantage and many other things will follow if we just shy away from every loan that we want to use for infrastructural development. With those remarks, I support."
