    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would appreciate if the Chair would clarify on the policies of the Government, particularly this Ministry, regarding the equitable distribution of resources. The main thing today in this country is about equitable distribution of resources. That is why we are having devolution. The concern here is that the company called Tullow Oil is not actually benefitting the people of Turkana in terms of procurement of goods and services. This is a major concern to all. Could the Chairperson confirm that it is now going to be the policy of the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum that all these oil companies as a matter of policy, procure goods and services from the residents of that county? For example, in transport, we are told that out of the 300 trucks and vehicles they have hired, only 20 come from Turkana but the rest are from outside the county. Could the Ministry confirm that they will in fact develop that policy?"
