    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am Sen. Liza Chelule and I stand to congratulate the Mover of this Motion, Dr. Zani. I support it for the following reasons. When she was moving this Motion, it came into my mind that we have resources in our counties especially at the community level. As I am talking today, I hope we have all been enjoying this Keringet Water. It is a natural resource from my area. I am not aware and there is nothing that has been remaining at the community level to address social issues. I am so proud today that if this Motion is successful, the people of Keringet will benefit. I represent students from needy families who have not been able to go to school because of school fees and if the investors were remitting a certain percentage to the community or to the counties, I believe these children could be in school. What I wanted to advice the Mover is not to talk about counties only but to scale down to communities. I suggest that a bigger percentage should remain at the community level. I would not suggest that a bigger percentage go to the county but to the community. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are aware that there are tree plantations and it is happening in our counties. Many investors engage in tree plantations but nothing remains at the community level. So, if this Motion, which I believe will be successful, goes through, I will be the happiest person because I know there are those resources that will remain at the community level and will indeed address very many social basic needs. Sen. (Prof.) Lesan was talking about carbon credit. It is an exercise that is going on now but the community is not aware and we do not know how they should benefit. The issue of sensitization in this matter again is very important and I would urge that a committee be formed to look into this Motion because everything should have been mentioned. In the first paragraph, Sen. (Dr.) Zani was able to only mention the oil deposits, wildlife and minerals but I think everything was supposed to be included. If there is a committee that is going to sit and look at this Motion critically, everything that is under natural resources will be mentioned. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
