    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, so much has gone wrong in the way Tullow Oil operates in Turkana in terms of employment, award of tenders, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and in terms of the general attitude towards the locals. I want to give an example; for them to outsource charcoal, a product readily available in Turkana is outrageous, to actually give 20 scholarships and award Turkana only two and not four as he puts it where the courses offered are like business administration which are available in the local universities but they give the best petroleum courses to their own people, is also outrageous; to get 14 international non-skilled labour is really outrageous. For example, an American coming to sweep or a Nigerian coming to cook is a job that I would imagine is for a local resident. Therefore, I want to ask two issues; in terms of the US$1,000,000 they talk of as CSR, who decides where the money is to be spent? Whom have they consulted for the purposes of implementation of that initiative? The second issue that I want to talk about is progress. We met as leaders and also consulted the President and resolved the matter but only with few conditions; let them allow us to audit employment in that company. We want to do due diligence. We want to be shown who has been employed."
