    "content": "another one hour to get to the meeting venue, it might be longer than the time it will take me to come from the railway station in Nairobi and end up in the railway station in Mombasa directly to my destination. This is what has made Europe and other capitals develop much faster than many other nations; infrastructure – railroad, other roads, water, telephone and other things. I believe that the fact that I can go to Mombasa in four and half or five hours down from the current 12 twelve hours, speaks to a faster growing economy. It speaks to goods coming closer to the people much faster. This is something that should excite all of us regardless of which Government has done it. But the beautiful thing is that it has been done and completed during these four years of the Jubilee government, and therefore, the President was quite right in highlighting it as one of the main agendas in his speech. Mr. Speaker, Sir, finally, as one Senator said yesterday, the fact that we are doing the SGR must also now require that we develop the small gauge railway lines that were in this country - The ones that were traversing the whole of this country so that the goods that are brought to Nairobi from Mombasa can reach the rural town, Nanyuki and all those other towns much faster, for faster development of our nation. All in all, this was a very good State of the Nation Address. It has stated exactly where we are and where we expect to go. The naysayers cannot stop development to proceed. This is why I am utterly convinced that Kenyans will find it fit to reelect the Jubilee Government so that it can finish the projects that it has started; SGR, Lamu Port – South Sudan- Ethiopia- Transport (LAPSSET) corridor and other projects which are to the benefit of this country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, finally, this is the very first time that our nation is developing equitably because we have a Senate and a devolution system which sees to it that all of us are going at the same pace.
