    "content": "life is a constitutional right for everyone. There is need for the Government to put in place mechanisms to ensure that every citizen in Turkana County is secure and that their lives are not threatened because of oil. Oil is a blessing to the people of Turkana County because it can be used to create jobs for them. Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is need for public participation in order to engage the people of Turkana County in a meaningful way, so as to have blessings from the community. If a project is accepted by the community, it then does very well because the community will ensure that the project succeeds. It is, therefore, important to ensure that there is a deliberate effort to engage the people of Turkana County in this process so that they can accept the situation and see it as a blessing for them. That way, they will find ways of working with the Government so that all sides benefit. The oil will help this Nation as a whole and not just the people of Turkana County. Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is also the need for us to find ways of protecting the police. If police reservists are also being killed in the process, then who is protecting us? There is need for concerted efforts to ensure that the oil in Turkana County becomes a blessing for this Nation and for the people of Turkana County. I support the Senator for this noble Statement that he has brought to the Floor of the House. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
