"content": "harvest sand or any other natural resource, you should fill it after use so that nobody loses their lives while trying to swim in such holes. Unfortunately, the people who make roads do not care neither do the people who harvest sand or gold. They leave the big holes uncovered after they finish their work which in turn become death traps for the children in Turkana County. Exploitation in a general sense is on-going all over this country. Examples have been given of counties such as Kwale and Kilifi where minerals are being mined by people from outside the country who take the raw materials back to their countries in raw form, they go to develop the raw materials and then sell the finished products to us. All that is happening because of our weak laws which have made us become like little children. People come to our country to exploit us and we do not say anything. We do not hold people who exploit us responsible or stop them so they keep on exploiting us while we remain poor. Our exploiters get rich on our resources while we remain poor. Madam Temporary Speaker, I hope that this Bill is going to be passed by our comrades in the National Assembly and eventually become to law which will help improve the living standards of several people in this country."
