    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Statement. I also thank Sen. (Prof.) Ekal for this Statement. Oil is a very important commodity; very few countries own it and, as a result, they become very wealthy. Oil can help us, as a Nation and also the people of Turkana County, who languish in poverty. As the Senator clearly said, about 88 per cent of the people in that region languish in poverty. All along, we have been looking at how to work on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), because SDG One states that we have to look at ways of eliminating all forms of poverty. If the people of Turkana County have languished in poverty, there is now the need to find how we can break the cyclic nature of poverty in that County and help them so that the oil can also benefit them. Mr. Speaker, Sir, insecurity is undoing the gains brought by our Constitution. Article 43(1)(e) states:- “Every person has the right— to social security.” Therefore, there is need for security to be beefed up in the County so that people are secure. The Senator also mentioned that a child was killed in the process. The right to The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
