We should not let them come and mortgage our country. We should have this law put in place with a view that it will safeguard the interests of the communities, which are within particular places where oil is discovered. It should safeguard the interest of the county where that discovery has been made. It should also safeguard the interests of our country, Kenya, so that foreigners, who have a lot of expertise, do not bring in their experts and also somehow neo-colonise us as far as this industry is concerned."}
