    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand to support that Petition. The people of Balambala, which is in Garissa County, are suffering. The river has changed its course. It is over 50 years since we got Independence, but people from that area still lack water. We all know water is life. Sometimes, I really wonder why our area is marginalised. The attention of subsequent governments has never been there, including the county government now. Why do I say so? We have been hearing of massive scandals at the NYS. A lot of money has been misappropriated. The NYS has been in Balambala for the last 40 years doing some irrigation work. Our Government has been very keen. It has been trying to bring back the Opposition. It has been giving them good amounts of money. Even the Opposition in North Eastern Province is not being taken care of. I do not know why? Maybe, we do not matter. Whether we are in the Government or Opposition, we are being dealt with in the same way. It is high time we are taken very seriously. Soon, we will make our own decision on which way to go if things have not been done properly. We cannot be crying, especially us pastoralists. We are going down to Isiolo to make a very big decision soon. That is because we cannot be crying all the time. Thank you. I support."
