    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I support the Petition from the Hon. Member for Kajiado on SGR. In fact, I want to advise Members whose regions the SGR is going to pass through - I have the experience when it was being constructed in my county as the Environmental Impact Assessment was not done well. For example, if you go towards Mombasa between Mackinnon Road and Manyani, you will realise that they have built sand dunes. We have a big problem. Even the man eaters, the lions, have come back simply because animals cannot traverse from Tsavo West to Tsavo East. In fact, the other day they mauled all my dairy cattle on top of the hills. Other than that, there is the issue of non-payment of some of my constituents. I know of my constituents who live in Voi and Taveta and who have not been paid. All the same, we should not be complaining about Swazuri all the time. You know very well that promulgation started in 2013. We should give these officers time and, of course, redirect them so that they can start working very well. This is because we have many commissions and all of them have problems. It is unfortunate that most of us are just dedicated and focussed on Swazuri. We should also look at other commissions. In my view, Swazuri has really tried. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
