    "content": "As we speak today, the approximate cost for building a tarmac road here in Kenya is about Kshs45 million to Kshs50 million. You can imagine if somebody has been awarded that contract at Kshs17 billion, how much of that amount goes to the equivalent of the stone that that person has put in the cost and yet they cannot pay a single shilling. The Maasai community in the area where those stones were being harvested live in deplorable and dangerous conditions because of some of the environmental degradation that has been occasioned by the exploitation, including disease. We visited one of the areas between Isinya and Rongai and one of the most notable hallmarks on that road where the exploitation was happening is a big dam. This has occurred because of all the stones that have been harvested and carried away. The dam is now filled with water which is a danger to the community."
