    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Minister. I will be very brief. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first, I would like to commend the Minister for the new job he has got. I want to say that a properly organised transport system anywhere in the world is actually the key driver of an economy. In Kenya, we have had a lot of problems, because we have been relying on the matatu sector for a long time. Forty years after Independence, we have not decided to go any other way than the matatu way. I believe that the Minister is equal to the task, and that he can do a good job and give Kenyans a proper transport system. I am sure that he has travelled widely. He has been to countries like China and the Netherlands, where they use things like trams. I do not think it will be very difficult for Kenya to implement a better transport policy. I do not think the Budget that the Ministry has been given is enough, because we need a proper system of transport in this country to drive our economy properly. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you will also notice that our roads do not have sections where one can ride a bicycle. Most of the countries, especially in Europe, are going the bicycle way, which is actually making transport very easy. With those remarks, I beg to support."
