    "content": "I am issuing a statement, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, Senator for Kakamega asked for a Statement on the current issues related to the stand-off between Tullow Oil Company and residents of Turkana as follows:- (i) the urgent measures the Government is taking to end this ugly and unfortunate incident; (ii) how the Tullow Oil Company acted on the needs of the local Turkanas in their exploitation of the oil resource; (iii) what the Government is doing to scale up involvement of locals in this grand project beyond the universally accepted practice of simple casual jobs, being offered opportunity as non-skilled task workers and being given simple small-scale businesses and contracts; (iv) what guarantees the Government is giving on the safety of the non- Turkana employees from elsewhere who are reported being evacuated. I beg to make the following Statement:- Regarding the urgent measures the Government is taking to end ugly and unfortunate incidents, I take cognizant of the fact that the oil company has already resumed operations, so, this Statement came a little bit late. Nonetheless, the national and the county governments have engaged in a number of urgent discussions with the aim of bringing the suspension of operations at Tullow oil drilling sites in Turkana to an end and indeed, it has come to an end. These discussions have involved the Cabinet Secretaries"
