    "content": "Kenya is on track in becoming a producer of oil and gas. That is an area that this Continent has suffered enough troubles as it were. It will be important that we engage in this exercise as country learning from the experiences of other countries like Angola and Nigeria, which have reaped lots of tears out of those natural resources. But even closer to where we are right now is our wildlife resource, which we know has brought great fame and recognition for this country. We know that a few years ago, the Maasai Mara was identified and classified as one of the wonders of the world of our times. That should be an encouragement for us as law makers and as leaders of our country to jealously protect those resources. I was shocked the other day to read about plans to route the SGR through the Nairobi National Park, which is the only park of its type in the whole world located within the vicinity of a capital or a major city. I want to use this opportunity to condemn such plans and to say that whatever it takes, we must revise those plans to ensure that we protect the Nairobi National Park. There are many other routes that the railway line could take; certainly one of those routes should not be through the Nairobi National Park."
