Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order No. 44(2) (c), I wish to make a Statement regarding a Government directive compelling all operators to ferry cargo for local market by rail through the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) to the newly established Naivasha Inland Container Depot (NICD), for your guidance and the best approach to handle the matter. Hon. Speaker, last year, all Government agencies, departments and all other operators were directed to transport all their cargo from the port of Mombasa through the SGR.

fears that the final cost of goods will be affected while road transport maybe cheaper. This is a deliberate effort by the Government to put road transport companies out of business and generally harm the entire economy of the coastal region. Currently, there is already an issue which is brewing between Kenya and its biggest trading partner, the Republic of Uganda. Of course, cargo operators from the neighboring countries argue that the option of using the NICD for transit cargo does not reduce congestion as drivers still have to pick cargo from Naivasha to their destinations.

Hon. Speaker, considering that this is something that had already been dealt with by the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing and that it involves the Competition Act as I had stated, it is the reason why I am requesting your discretion on whether it should be for the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning, the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing, as well as the Departmental Committee on Trade Industry and Cooperatives.

Ahsante sana, Mhe. Naibu Spika wa Muda. Ningependa tu wenzangu waniazime masikio yao. Kwanza, nataka kuchukua fursa hii kushukuru dadangu Mhe. Sabina na Kamati ya Afya. Nikiangalia Hoja kwa undani, hii kamati maalum imepatiwa nyadhifa gani inazidi mipaka ya ile ya afya? Ndani yake kuna masuala ya uchumi. Ndani yake kuna masuala yenye kuhusika na kitu gani kitaweza kufanywa baada ya hili janga la corona kumalizika? Kwa hivyo, mimi kibinafsi, na nina imani wengi hapa watakubaliana nami, napendekeza kuwa tuikubali Hoja hii kwa kauli moja sote na kwa minajili ya Kenya. Nimeona dadangu kutoka Mombasa, Mbunge wa Likoni, ni moja ...

ifunguliwe. Katika kufunguliwa, ni lazima Kamati ya Afya iweze kuangalia masuala haya. Waweze kukubaliana na kupitisha Miswada ambayo itakubalika ya kuwa ikiwa nchi itafunguka, basi wale wa kufanya kazi na wananchi kwa ujumla, ikiwemo sisi Wajumbe, iwe ni sharti tuhakikishe hali zetu za afya ziko sawa. Ikiwa hatujijali, sisi tujali hali ya wale wengine. Ikiwa tunasema yule mwenye M-Pesa aweze kupimwa, na sisi pia tunahusiana na watu ambao wako mashinani, tujue hali zetu kwa sababu ya watu wetu. Ni raha tena sana kwa sababu katika maeneo yaliyofungwa, licha ya kuwa katika hali ya mchipuko mchipuko wa hapa na pale wa ...
