    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, in 1975, at a place called Arlale in my county, rubies were discovered. One person awarded himself a title deed back then but feared to venture into that area. Therefore, the title deed is in his pocket. There is no one in the whole of Kacheliba Constituency who possesses a title deed. The Senate Majority Leader is here, and should tell us whether when the Jubilee Government says that it is issuing title deeds, they are aware that no one has a title deed in a whole constituency. One person awarded himself a title deed but has been unable to venture there because of the wildness of the people who live there. That person will retire with that title deed in this pocket. He will never step on that land. Therefore, it is in order to bring people along and open up resources found in these communities, counties and regions so that they do not discover and begin to fight for genetic resources. Sen. M. Kajwang talked about the new parastatal that was created in 2010 to assist Kenyans with the latest scientific skills. As soon as parastatals are created, and somebody is appointed a Managing Director (MD), Chairperson et cetera ; everybody takes position. They go into slumber and do not do anything at all. We have over 200 parastatals in the Republic. A number of them deal with these resources. I have just talked about a parastatal concerned with forests yet forests are being destroyed in Kitale Town. Is it that the MD of the Kenya Forests Service (KFS) is not in office? He is! Why do they allow this? It is because sometimes they are beneficiaries. There is a culture in Kenya; people say, “Eat where you are, eat where you are working.” How do you eat where you are working while you are supposed to be protecting this?"
