    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. The Hon. Member and a Member of the Committee have indicated that the identification and, indeed, the compilation of the listed beneficiaries was done in collaboration with everyone else except the Members of Parliament of the National Assembly. The Ministry of Transport and KPA are under the purview of the national Government. How come the names and the process were done with everyone else except the Members of the National Assembly, including myself and the other Members? Secondly, I have not seen the list of the more than 3,800 fisherpersons that the Hon. Member has indicated have been compensated. I hope the list is available because we have had a situation in Lamu where everyone else is compensated except the people of Lamu. We had a situation where people were compensated for land in Kilalani for paving way for the construction of the Lamu Port. Ironically, three-quarters of the people who were compensated were not residents of Lamu at all. Given that situation, I can almost attest to this House that the names on the purported list of members of the fishers community are not names of people from Lamu. However, we will see the list, interrogate it and submit it to the people for them to authenticate it. this is because we previously had a situation where certain people took money that was meant for the people of Lamu.
