    "content": "It is this small section of people from the community who have invaded that I am apologizing to; to understand that we are asking them to leave. It is not because we are denying them an opportunity to till this land, but because of the bigger picture of enhancing environmental conservation. The Senator of Nyamira, you know you and I have said the same thing. I would like to refer you to the story of the blind man who touched the elephant. Maybe you are the blind one who touched the tail and I am the blind one who touched the ears. We are still talking about the same elephant. As I conclude, I want to go directly to the recommendations. I agree with all of the recommendations, that is, 143, 144, 145, through to 149. They are solving our problems. However, Members of the committee, let us look at what you are saying in 144. Senator of Nyamira, if you have the copy, I would like us to go to 144. There is a bitter taste in my mouth when I read recommendation No. 144. It says a moratorium on further subdivision of the wetland should be enforced by the County Government of Nyamira until a comprehensive physical development plan is in place. This recommendation is anticipating the possibility that once you get a physical development plan in place, we can never entertain the possibility of subdivision of this land. I feel this particular sentence is offensive. It should just be in black and white that the wetland in Nyamira shall never be open to subdivision. With those many remarks, I congratulate my colleagues who sat on this committee. I support"
