    "content": " That is the position. What I am saying is that it is not voluntary as it was supposed to be. That is because you can see members of the public who used road transport are using the SGR and it is more expensive. They are being forced to use it. The Cabinet Secretary said that he was going to issue a directive to stop the enforcement, but the statement he gave was just a “by the way”. It is not effective and, maybe, he did not direct his people to start implementing what he was telling the Committee here. Members are still being forced to use it and you can see it. When you transport goods by road, they are cheaper than when you transport the same goods through SGR. Yet, people are still transporting goods through the expensive method. That is why I am saying that the roads are empty despite it being the cheaper way of transport. People have been rendered jobless in Mombasa and we should consider that. So, I associate myself with my learned friend from Mvita."
