    "content": " Public participation in government decision-making is vital in any democracy. Kenya is not an exception. We have to be very wary of projects like this being carried out in the name of energy and the provision of services to the people. In 1988, I remember very well a company called Kenya Oil Service that ended up in North Eastern Kenya, particularly Garissa, Wajir, Marsabit, and the region. Claims exist, some of them verifiable, that they buried toxic waste in that area, which is exacerbating the prevalence of cancer cases in that part of the country. In June of last year, I brought a Question to this House. The Speaker ruled on that matter. The Departmental Committee on Environment, Forestry, and Mining was tasked with investigating that matter. My honourable colleague, now the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Energy, is in the House and can prove what I am saying. That matter has not been concluded until now."
