    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, they have clearly outlined in the Report about lack of public utility services such as toilets, congestion and adverse consequences and spread of HIV/AIDS scourge. It is shocking that whereas the border point was the busiest in the region with a revenue base of Kshs250 million per month, there is no single aspect of CSR. That is a lot of money that comes from this project. There was a joke that was cracked sometime back when we were making some sort of agreements with China. Some people said that when we went for those discussions, we read documents that were written in Chinese. We signed under the dotted line for something that was written in Chinese, but we did not understand what we were signing. We have been doing projects for a long time because it is more than 50 years since our Independence. How can key components in a project be left out? How can they not be implemented? We even have a monitoring and evaluation mechanism for these projects. How do we have many problems as a result of these projects? This is a disappointment and we hope that these recommendations will be taken into consideration. Also, we hope that the Committee on Roads and Transportation will make adequate follow up, so that the good work that they have done to come up with this Report can turn into something productive, both at Malaba Border and in Kitui. I support."
