If you followed the sentiments by Hon. Rahim, you would note that anybody who neighbours Tharaka has been a victim of serious expansionist tendencies. Those who will be examining the Petition need to worry about fulfilling an urge for expansion at the expense of all the neighbours. Even Meru National Park has been a victim. That is what I wanted to raise."}
