    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I thank Hon. Birdi for bringing this Petition. As Members may recall, just a few weeks ago, there was a very bad faceoff between the Maasai people and the Chinese because of that problem. Hon. Speaker, what is worrying us as Kenyans is the new way of doing things such that the rights of Kenyans have been delegated to the periphery for the benefit of foreigners and, more so, the Chinese people . It is unfortunate that whereas all the resources are going back to China, even what can be done by our people is taken over. I would like to urge the relevant committee to ensure that this injustice is stopped forthwith because, at the end of the day, our people deserve to have rights as Kenyans. It is unfortunate that whereas we think about playing our roles as leaders or as people who are giving away contracts, we forget the rights of the communities that are supposed to benefit. I think it is time for us, as legislators and leaders, to stand for our people and say enough is enough. We should not import fish from China and impose other sanctions because we are becoming a laughing stock in the international stage. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
