    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir for giving me this opportunity. The dignified Senator for Samburu County has stated a problem that is faced by the named nine counties. As I represent Turkana County, I am just hearing of Lamu Port-South Sudan- Ethiopia-Transport (LAPSSET). I have heard that Turkana is among the counties that are supposed to benefit from LAPSSET. As a representative of the people, I do not know the people that manage LAPSSET. I have not seen them and I do not know even one of them. This shows that there was no public participation to involve the community on issues that affect them. I am sorry that from my perception, this LAPSSET will delay. It will not go anywhere. This is because, you want to have LAPSSET from Turkana or Lokichar to Lamu and these issues have not been handled in Lokichar, then where will you get this product to transport? For example, we have just been hearing about the issue of compulsory land acquisition. We have been waiting for these people who want to acquire land compulsorily because this is communal land. The Constitution prescribes the procedures on how to acquire land. However, not even one step in the process has been undertaken."
