    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Taita Taveta neighbours Makueni. I am aware of the tremendous issues on land that Taita Taveta faces. It is one of the poorest counties in Kenya but has the best land. It is a land of contradictions; that you have the best mines of Tanzanite and other things, but the community is poor. It is also the land that has got the Tsavo elephants but the people are poor. Mr. Speaker, Sir, my only request to you and maybe the secretariat is whether you could facilitate the Senate Committee on Land, Environment and Natural Resources to have this Petition heard out there and not in Nairobi? It is only upon listening and seeing the poverty of the people of Taita Taveta that one truly understands the reason as to why an inch of land in Taita Taveta is like a gold mine. While there, they can also address the other issues that Sen. Mwaruma has raised regarding questions of land. I am waiting for the time when Sen. Mwaruma will raise the question of the people who are mining in his County. The residents are suffering as people become billionaires out of the natural resources of Taita Taveta County. This County should be the richest in Kenya like Bavaria in Germany."
