"content": "operation” immediately after the word “construction”. What we are attempting to do here is expand the usages of the Railway Development Levy to include paying operation. The operational costs, at the moment, have attracted a pending bill of about Kshs37 billion since 2017, the reason being that the revenue that accrues from the normal running of the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) goes to what we call an escrow account to pay our loans. I confirm to the nation and the House that we have not defaulted. We have already started paying our loan. The only problem is that now we are looking for money to buy fuel, oil and pay members of staff. That is why we are now opening a Development Levy Fund (DLF) to solve the problem. It is very clear. I thank you."
