    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the three minutes. I will try to be very brief. From the outset, I am not standing here because of my personal interests. I know that I have a duty, as a human being, to leave this world a better place than I found it. The issue of the Mau does not only affect the Maasais. We are the ones who are heavily affected, but it actually affects a lot of other people, all the way to Egypt. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, our rivers are drying because of impunity and complicity. We can no longer stand that. Many people hide behind the issue of compensation, yet the Constitution is alive. I know that some people are talking about the compensation, which I am completely against. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I long for the time when I could go to the river, drink clean water and shower. I long for that time when heavy rains would come and there would be no floods. I long for the time when everybody would grow their food from January to January. However, that time is no longer there because of our own selfish human activities. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Constitution is very alive because Article 40(6) clearly limits the right to property. I know that a lot of people talk about compensation. 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."
