    "content": "businesses that belonged to Kenyans because after going back home, they come back and set up businesses. They have almost taken over all the businesses that our people enjoy. Having said that, we still have a beneficial relationship. Our people provide them with labour and get expertise from serving in the British Army. I am also aware that Kenya has really benefited from this co-operation since Kenyan officers train in the United Kingdom alongside each other in this country. This cannot be taken for granted. We have an exchange programme of sharing experiences, knowledge, military experience and building infrastructure. This should translate directly to the host counties like Laikipia, Samburu and Isiolo, where they carry out their training. As Members from those counties and representatives of the people, we would like to see our counties benefit from whatever action the Government takes. As we move these amendments, we should ensure that those people are properly represented in any debate and agreement. I have read the Report of the Committee and incidences and serious concerns were raised through a memorandum by Laikipia County Government. We waited for them to come, but they changed the dates and never appeared. Again, I concur with the County Government of Laikipia County about the BATUK. It has been committing several atrocities to the people of Laikipia that are not only harmful to them, but also the environment. We vividly remember the fire incident that happened in Loldaiga whereby even today, people still suffer from lung diseases. Some of them have been hospitalised and others have lost their lives."
