    "content": "areas. Previously, county councils were in charge of the resources. They would oversee mining in their respective areas. However, it was only the chairpersons and the clerks who would benefit from the exploitation of those resources. The rest of the community used to suffer. That is going on up to now because we have not changed. When the new outfit, namely, the county government came in, nothing much changed. That is why we still have arguments where the national Government says it wants a certain percentage, but county governments are opposed to it. You saw what happened in Lodwar, where oil was discovered. Up to now, nothing is going on there. Every day there are demonstrations. Before, people used to work there. There were cleaning services. There was a security firm which used to employ people there. This empowered the locals economically and it was not only one community. The Turkana, Pokots and other communities used to benefit. However, as I speak, the project was moved from its original position, namely, Turkwel. The officers are now manning it from Kitale leaving the other people in disarray. Those who used get a salary have it no more. I have shared that issue with the current chairman and he has promised to do something. He is my friend and I do not want to quarrel so much about it, especially at the moment."
