    "content": "it was too shallow and hollow. In a nutshell, the response was devoid of substance and any merits. After lengthy deliberations, it was resolved that the matter be referred to the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of Isiolo County Assembly for further investigations and report back to the Assembly with a comprehensive finding within a stipulated timeline which did not materialize until today. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is, therefore, a humble request by the petitioners through me that:- i. The Petition be dealt with immediately in view of the urgency of this matter that the seriousness of the issues raised. ii. The Hon. Speaker of the Senate invokes his mandate and duty to compel the PAC of Isiolo County Assembly to table the report of their findings within three weeks and direct the Isiolo County Government to stop any further transaction on the lease of the afore said game reserves. iii. The residents of Isiolo County cry for public participation on the lease of Buffalo Springs and Shaba Game Reserves be upheld by the Senate. iv. The Senate:- (a) Directs the executive arm of the county government to provide members of the public with sufficient information pertaining to the extent and the impact of the lease of the game reserves to enable them fully and meaningfully participate in providing their input; (b) The relevant departmental committee in the Senate must undertake a countywide process of seeking public views in regard to the lease of the game reserves; (c) The petitioners demand and pray for an immediate hold of the lease process of the reserves, discussions, negotiations, consultations and agreements in any matter whatsoever deemed as ultra vires and against public interests; and (d) The petitioners further pray the leasing of the game reserves will seriously prejudice national security interest, conservation and biodiversity interest, tourism and wildlife management interests and all pertaining to public good and welfare of the county. Mr. Speaker, Sir, finally, the petitioners, through me, do pray that the hon. Members of the Senate shall stand up and be counted on the right side of history. In conclusion, I would like to put it on record that I have made attempts purely out of courtesy to bring this matter to the attention of the distinguished Senator for Isiolo County, but I could not reach him and the nominated Senator from Isiolo is also out of the country. Therefore, they should not read anything out of it. I am just being a good servant of the people of Isiolo who approached me. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
