"content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The case stated by the Senator is indeed very touching. It has taken a long time to expose the matter. A number of researches and activities are going on now especially oil exploration in the North Rift; Turkana, Samburu, Baringo, Elgeyo-Marakwet and West Pokot counties. If exactly what he is telling us is the aftermath of this, is it not yet time we stepped in and found out how these people do the exploration so that it does not become an explosion in the future? Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, look at the dams that were created in the Tana, what effects have these dams in the course of trying to look for electricity affected the communities living around them? In my county, Turkwel Dam has become a death trap for everybody yet we enjoy the power here. People are exposed to malaria and crocodiles. So, we need serious intervention and an investment adventure should be carried out. Mitigating factors and remedies should be put in place in order to fight this and save the people that we are purporting to serve."
