    "content": "In 2019, NOCK signed a production sharing contract with the Government through the Ministry to carry out exploration activity for hydrocarbon resources in Block 14 T. The block is located in Kenya's Rift Valley geographical area and runs from Lake Natron border with Tanzania to Lake Bogoria to the North of Nakuru City, crossing over four counties of Kajiado, Narok, Nakuru, and Baringo. The total gazetted area that defines Block 14T under that production sharing contract is 17,400 Kilometers. The Magadi Sub-basin is 7,280 kilometers, which is approximately 41 percent of the Block. The remaining 59 percent, especially at the center of the block north of Suswa and South of Nakuru City is confirmed to be under geothermal resources that are associated with regions of low or no hydrocarbon prospectivity. A number of exploration projects have been carried out on the Block by NOCK in-house and in partnership with Japanese Company called Japan, Oil, Gas and Metal National Corporation (JOGMEC). A majority of production-sharing contract operation activities have focused on Magadi region owing to the information that NOCK has kept updating from subsequent technical programmes since the PSC was signed. As the operator in this Block 14T, NOCK recognises the host community as one of the primary stakeholders whose well-being is key to the success of exploration activities in the region. In recognition, the best way to ensure future employability, decent life and reduced inequality is through investment in quality and equitable education at all levels. Hon. Members, it is worth noting that Kajiado people are largely pastoralists. In addition to cattle raising, the people of Magadi have also ventured into agricultural activities. It is through this consideration that NOCK, therefore, prioritises facilities and support to the community through various projects as indicated in the table that has enumerated what we are doing in education. This includes purchasing some desks---"
