    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, first, I would like to welcome you back. Secondly, I congratulate Sen. (Dr.) Zani for this thoughtful and brilliant Bill. This is a straightforward Bill and she has tried to explain in detail what this Bill is all about. Essentially, this Bill seeks to ensure that conflicts we witness in the country across many communities do not occur. The recent one was about oil in Turkana where people blocked trucks transporting oil to Mombasa saying that they were not part of the negotiations. They were saying that money should be sent to them through Mpesa. That was because there was no proper legal framework to ensure that they benefit from the resource. It took the Government a lot of time and resources to negotiate with them to make them understand. This Bill is important because we might have oil in Elgeyo- Marakwet County and experience the same situation. We have also been having issues of Titanium and Fluorspar in Elgeyo-Marakwet County, Gold in Migori County and Chemase in Chemelil which is in Nandi County. When people do not understand, it becomes a problem because they could insist that they need money to be sent to them through Mpesa."
