    "content": "Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir for giving me the chance to comment on the Petition. From the onset, I want to declare an interest because I am from Kajiado County, having in mind that the SGR transverses the whole of Kajiado County; from Kiboko to the Ngong Hills in Kajiado North. The SGR project has had a huge impact on our people in terms of pollution, environmental issues and compensation. Therefore, I want to urge the Committee concerned when they are looking into this Petition, they should deeply look into compensation. There are still a number of people who have not been compensated, especially in Sultan Hamud, and Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. has stood and talked on the same many times. We also have some plot owners in Emali town and Kajiado north who have not been compensated.There is also the issue of Nairobi National Park and issues surrounding human-wildlife conflict. I also want to urge the Committee to look into issues of community related services that are also supposed to be offered in this case. The project contractors should also make sure that whenever they are doing such a kind of a project, whether it is SGR or any other project, they should involve the citizens in public participation for them to understand the implication of any project that is done within their counties. I also want to request for an invitation when the Committee is sitting on this Petition for us to understand the issues for we are the concerned parties."
