    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, my remarks are in relation to the petition brought by the Governor of Kisii County. In normal circumstances, you would expect that Senator of a county to know something about a petition being presented to the Senate by the Governor of his county. Unfortunately, I am hearing about this petition for the first time. This demonstrates the poor working relationship between governors and senators in some of our counties. That notwithstanding, this petition touches on the livelihood of many people in Kisii County, especially the residents of South Mugirango and its environs. The petition is seeking authority to vary the boundary of Nyangweta Forest with the view to apportioning land for the establishment of a sugar production plant, an ethanol production plant and an electric power generation plant. These industrial ventures proposed will have a positive impact on the economy of the county and more directly on the citizens of South Mugirango through the generation of job opportunities and income to local residents, especially sugar cane farmers. The ventures are also expected to trigger the growth of many support services."
