    "content": "affected. Two, we have wildlife in that hill, like buffaloes and others and every time the turbines are running, the animals tend to run away maybe because of the noise generated and the blinking of the lights. Because of that, of late you may even find some buffaloes in Ngong Town at around 8.00 a.m., and, as a consequence, children within those areas are afraid of going to school. These are some of the consequences which were not anticipated. So, with such an authority, I believe we will be doing some serious research and out of that, before any implementation of a project like this, they will make sure that there are some ways to arrest the situation. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you will also find that with these kinds of natural resources and the way, maybe, the investors will come, our counties and our communities will benefit a big deal, because you will expect also the issue of unemployment to be addressed within those areas. You will also expect, within those areas, the communities to train their people or their people to go to school to learn the skills which will be used to extract those natural resources. I believe, for example, if it is in the coast region, where we have very good gems, we should expect a good institution where our young people can train in courses about gemstones and the natural resources which are found there so that they can be employed there. This will also ensure that good methods of extracting gemstones can be employed so that our people can get employment and also so that the value of what is extracted can be obtained. In conclusion, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Bill is coming at the right time. In fact, it is one of the best Bills which I believe our counties and our communities will reap something out of it. I believe this Bill will change this country and it will take wealth back to the communities rather than the way the investors just go in, invest, extract the minerals and other resources, fly off with the wealth and the poor people are just left there. But with the passage of this Bill, at least wealth will be ploughed back to the communities. With those few remarks, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to support."
