    "content": "heritage need to go to that place and try to conserve it. The oil explorers got gas instead of oil. Gas was of no commercial use in 1970. Most of it was flared and burnt out. Gas is the next frontier in this country. We have some people who are exploring it in Pate Island. There are a lot of prospects of gas. I know you have heard the contribution of other Members. We need to remove the capping of the shared revenue. From the mathematics that we were given, it means one country will be receiving almost a third of what is given to the current counties in the country. The Government has a responsibility to take care of other counties. For example, the Government needs to take care of Turkana County because we found oil there. It is important for them to understand that they cannot absorb all that kind of money. I totally agree with that. If a sub- county or a constituency can get 10 per cent, it will add up to Kshs50 billion per year. In addition to that, the membership of the Trust Fund Committee will consist of people from the local area. That will be a big challenge. We want Members to understand how the provision of the capping was decided on so that we can have enough money."
