    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I just wanted to add – since I am a member of that Committee – that from the Statement and the answer we have received, that the gas which was discovered is non-toxic. There is a lot of concentration of methane gas which, in most cases, is extremely flammable. Maybe this gas occurs as a result of a lot of livestock activities and we recognise the fact that there are a lot of cows in the area. Therefore, this could be as a result of the activities of the cows. We interrogated the response and we appreciate the fact that even though the laboratory did not have testing equipment, the Government went ahead to use two different laboratories abroad which gave us these results. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I just want to raise an issue that is important for the members of the public who are watching, us to know. Methane is an extremely flammable gas and that is the reason why those measures were taken. It can explode between 5 per cent at the lowest and up to 15 percent at the upper explosive limits. So I just want to reiterate that we are still exploring options of getting more information on this. The Committee on Energy assures the Senator of Kajiado,who had asked for this Statement, that we are doing everything we can to get more answers. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
