    "content": "children? Are they enhancing the capacity of our training institutions to train Kenyans who will not only work in this space station but other space stations out of this country in other areas of the world where there are similar stations? Even on issues to do with compensation for land and space being used, let us review every two years because circumstances change. Even the value of land leased that would be payable by the Italian Government to the Kenyan Government will change with time as Ngomeni and the surrounding areas change. Therefore, it would be imperative for the Committee to have a schedule. I heard our Leader of the Majority Party Emeritus, Hon. Duale, say that when they went there in the 12th Parliament, they were not allowed to access the space centre. We must reiterate that we have a responsibility, a right and a mandate bestowed upon us by Kenyans as Members of Parliament to access any part of this country, even that site. The fact that it is managed by foreigners does not mean… I appreciate the fact that there is now a Deputy CEO who is Kenyan. He or she should be able to facilitate Members of the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations to access that site, review the terms and check whether some of the good things that have been improved in this Agreement are being implemented. I encourage the Committee and this House to keep checking. Hon. Baya and other Members from the Kilifi region should also keep checking that many of the good things that have been enhanced in this Agreement come to fruition and are of benefit to Kenyans. I support the Motion."
