    "content": "I have no card. It refused to work. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I will be very brief. Let me take this opportunity to second this Motion. The Nairobi-Malaba SGR is part of the Northern Corridor Integrated Project which was initiated between Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda and South Sudan. Under that Protocol, Kenya was supposed to do its part from Mombasa to Malaba. We are aware that the section between Mombasa and Nairobi is already on track. In fact, it has already started and by June next year, it will be operational. The Inland Container Depot (ICD) in Nairobi has been started. It will be a main station which will be seen on the railway line in Nairobi. The project has been done such that Phase 1 is what we are doing now in Mombasa- Nairobi. Phase II will have three surfaces. Phase IIA is Nairobi-Mai Mahiu-Suswa, which is also referred to as the Nairobi-Naivasha line. The second one will be Phase IIB, which is from Suswa-Narok-Bomet-Sondu-Ahero and Kisumu. Phase IIC will be from Kisumu-Yala-Mumias- Malaba. It is important that this line continues because if you only do it up to Nairobi, then, that connectivity is not there. We looked at the preparedness of the Ministry of Transport, Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development and we saw that they have initiated Phase IIA, which is Nairobi-Suswa. The Committee’s recommendation to the House is very simple. We need to fast-track the development of the Nairobi ICD, which is being done, and the Nairobi-Naivasha section to serve the proposed Naivasha Industrial Park. For the other section between Naivasha-Malaba, we need to initiate the process for funding. With those few remarks, I beg to second."
