    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have a commitment to deliver the first railway construction by independent Kenya in the next couple of months, at least, on a line from the Railway Station to the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. It is a project that is designed; there is a railway station that is already starting any time now. So, we will have a few kilometers done in Independent Kenya this time round and hon. Members may well be beneficiaries or travel on this line – which is expected to take two years – in the next couple of months. Obviously, we are working on the bigger issue of developing a second line from Mombasa all the way to Malaba jointly with the Ugandan Government. Immediately we get the necessary Cabinet approvals, I will give more information to the House at least from an authoritative perspective. However, plans are underway to modernize our railway, especially the main line from Mombasa to Malaba. But, more importantly, is the commuter railway system linking the various roads from Ruiru, Thika, Limuru, Dagoretti and the airport by connecting them to the Railway Station as part of decongesting the city. I will be giving more information immediately the details have been approved by the Cabinet. I will have the authority of the Cabinet to discuss details of those matters with the House."
