    "content": "I want to support this petition. First, I want to thank the Member for Turkana Central for bringing this petition. This petition is extremely important. The issues he has raised in this petition on behalf of the people of Turkana are very important particularly the issue regarding land. Land is so crucial. Land in Turkana belongs to the community and the people of Turkana. It is important for the people of Turkana to know the status of their land and how their land has been alienated or not alienated. Secondly, the issue of how prospecting licences were issued is so crucial. The people of Turkana are entitled to know how these licences were issued and whether there was any exchange of money and whether they were entitled for any benefit on this money. The other issue is that of environmental impact assessment statement. It is important that the people of Turkana know the environmental impact assessment on the future exploitation of this very important resource. This is because unless environmental and social impact assessment is known this can be a curse instead of being a blessing. Finally, the issue of how the people of Turkana are going to benefit from this very important resource must be clearly spelt out. That is why it is very important for the Minister to come out very clearly to show how the people of Turkana and the people of Kenya in total are going to benefit from this resource. I beg to support."
