    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Minister for this time. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would also like to congratulate Mr. Kimunya for being appointed the Minister for Transport, and tell him that the new Constitution is actually tailored for people like him. Since he came to Parliament, he has always been a Minister. He is also a technocrat. He now does not need to go through elections to become a Member of Parliament in order to be made a Minister. I have only a few questions to put to the Minister. Why have we left public transport entirely in the hands of the private sector? In the whole world, even in the developed countries, public transport is not entirely in the hands of the private sector. Secondly, why is it that despite the huge sums of money that we have spent on Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), there seems to be no improvement in that facility? There could be a place through which funds have been leaking out. I would wish the Minister to take care of that aspect. Thirdly, why are we building single-lane roads between Mombasa and the hinterland and calling them highways? We are virtually crippling the development of the hinterland of Africa. Could we build six-lane dual carriage ways to the borders of the hinterland, so that we can aid its development and subsequently enable Kenya to generate revenue from it? With those few remarks, I beg to support."
