"content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity to speak to this Petition. From the outset, I support the Petition which has been brought forth by my neighbour, Hon. Obiri. The people on the ground have suffered heavily. We have had a chance to witness and Hon. Obiri is on record trying to resolve the issue in a more amicable way. Actually, he was arrested and detained in police cells over the weekend because he was articulating the issues of his people which brought him to Parliament. We are concerned as a community. We appreciate that the people are making it a business, but it can be done in a more scientific way. Nowadays, technology can be used, which is less harmful. We encourage the businessperson involved to use the modern technology to harvest stones instead of using the old style of doing things. The population is high and, therefore, it is risky for them to harvest the stones with ease. We encourage them to use the modern technology. We have no issue with that, but using the old technology that they are using now is not helping the community. It is more dangerous. I support."
