    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Pursuant to Standing Order No. 48(1), I rise to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Roads and Transportation on the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) projects and programmes under the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) by the Kenya railways. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) List the CSR projects and programmes that have been implemented under the SGR by the Kenya Railways, indicating the cash value for each project and programme. (2) Explain the progress made towards the relocation of Voi Girls’ High School in Voi under CSR by the Kenya Railways. (3) State the amount of money allocated for the relocation of the school, indicating the commencement date and the expected date of completion of the relocation. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, during Phase I of the SGR, it came to our notice that SGR and China Road and Bridges Company had not done any CSR to the communities where the railway line was passing through. At one time, we were with the Managing Director (MD) Kenya Railways in our Committee on Land, Environment and Natural Resources when we were dispensing a petition by a petitioner from Narok, during Phase II of SGR. The MD indicated that there has been at least some CSR and mentioned the one of Voi Girls High School. During the building of Phase I of the SGR, it took part of the school compound, and the school was supposed to be relocated. I am calling it CSR, but it is supposed to be part of compensation because the school cannot exist very close to the SGR line. We do not know when that school will be relocated because Phase II is on and, up to now, that relocation process has not begun. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
