    "content": "low potential areas of this country. The low potential areas are 80 per cent of this country and they include North Eastern Province, Turkana, Ukambani and so on. These are places which were marginalized for so many years. I think this Motion is going to uplift the communities in these areas. We cannot invest or achieve this if there is insecurity in those areas. Where I come from we have discovered so much along the Sudanese and Ugandan boarder, but we cannot exploit these minerals because they lie along the Uganda escarpment and the Government is not providing security. Without security you cannot even get investors. What happened last week? An investor was thrown out and everything destroyed because we are not even providing security to those investors. How do we benefit if the Government is not putting in that kind of effort? This is a very complicated industry with cartels we have seen over the years where land is apportioned to an individual without the community understanding how it was allocated. Certificates just change hands and people make billions of shillings. This is an issue that this Motion will address and I can say it has surely come at the right time. With those few remarks, I want to support."
