    "content": "215,000 sheep and goats and 85,000 cattle dependent on Karare ecosystem during droughts. (e) Further, that a total of 98,000 people who depend on the livestock would lose their livelihoods if Karare Land is compulsorily acquired. (f) THAT considering that in the past the community has lost over 150 acres to the Lake Turkana Wind Power Project, their dry season grazing pasture has been significantly diminished and, therefore, the acquisition of Karare land would exacerbate their plight. (g) THAT owing to their minority status and weak representation in Government, the Rendile and Samburu communities of Marsabit fear that they could lose the land despite their objections and having failed in petitions to the County Commissioner, County Governor, Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government and the National Land Commission for redress all of whom have never responded. (h) The Petitioners, therefore, pray that the Senate intervenes and undertake an investigation with a view to halting the process of compulsory acquisition of Karare land for the benefit of the Rendile and Samburu communities residing in the area and make appropriate recommendations on the matter. Hon. Senators, pursuant to Standing Order 231, I shall now allow comments, observations and clarifications in relation to the Petition for not more than 30 minutes. You can request by pressing your buttons. Proceed, Sen. (Eng.) Hargura)"
