    "content": "Thank you Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I listened very carefully to the Vice Chairperson. The LAPSSET like most other mega projects in this country is a conduit for people to make money on speculation of the land. When the LAPSSET was conceived, Garissa, Wajir and Moyale counties were included. Now, year in, year out, we are told some consultants are conducting a study. They are giving this or that advice. However, consultants are acting at the whims of those who pay them. From what she says, Isiolo also risks being excluded from this project. The consultations are being done in such a way that they will only benefit people who have bought land for speculation purposes. This is a conduit for making money. Could she clarify why they allow these things to happen without involving local communities and their leadership? How do you tell us that it is the consultants who will design where it will pass? Who are these consultants? In Lamu, for example, the actual land owners have not been compensated. It is the speculators who have been paid. The owners have been complaining and protesting."
