    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Petition by my dear sister, Sen. Mary Seneta. In this whole country, there is only one person called Senator Seneta. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this issue of local content is very important and we cannot wish it away, just like that. The Turkana and Maasai are complaining. In fact, at some point, I feel as if we, the Maasai, are completely under siege. Because of lack of education, we have sold off all our land and even when these companies come to our place, they disregard our interests completely. This is a recipe for disaster. For example, when you to go Kilgoris, you will find a sugar company and it took the intervention of the Governor and myself to calm down the temperatures because the Maasai were up in arms. The Maasais will be up in arms in Kajiado because they must be employed. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Petitioners are right in saying that legislation should come from this House. I know that this is the House of unity because it unites all of us in this country, but we must not forget our rights. The Maasai are people who are pushed away. 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."
