    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I appreciate the Assistant Minister's informative response. I have a lot of interest in this particular issue of oil exploration in northern Kenya. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Ludin Kenya BV, which is a Swiss company, is exploring for oil in Block 10A within my constituency. That is happening in many parts of northern Kenya by different international oil companies. They are all exploring for oil. It is our fear that, instead of being a blessing, if oil is discovered, it may be a curse for the people of northern Kenya. The examples in Nigeria and other parts of the world are really frightening. We are afraid that our people may lose their livelihood, land and, maybe, left poorer than before. I want to know from the Assistant Minister what modalities are there to ensure that if the oil is found - and I pray that we find it - we share that resource with the local communities I know you have modalities for cost recovery. I know you have modalities for profit sharing with those multinational companies. But what modalities are there for the local community that I represent in this Parliament?"
