"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Let me thank Hon. Mulyungi for bringing up this matter and at the same time inform the Leader of the Majority Party that Hon. Mulyungi and Hon. Charity Ngilu were never Member of Parliament or governor respectively, when this matter started being debated. The only people who were in this place at that point were and Hon. Rachael Nyamai and I. We even signed the agreement at one point. What we are saying is that this is a resource which is important to both Kitui County and the nation. Our interest as Kenyans, not even as the people of Kitui, is to see this resource being exploited to benefit Kenyans and the local people. I request that the issues Hon. Mulyungi has raised be addressed urgently so that we can pave way for this important resource to benefit the country. I wish it was put as a Question. That way, we could get clarification from the Cabinet Secretary on where we are; like a status report. Now that it is a Petition, we will allow the process to take place. However, we know that petitions will never be debated here at the end of the day. Neither are we likely to do anything with the report. It will just be tabled. For now, we can accept that. As a country, we seriously need to think about some of these resources which are important to this country and can make grow our economy. If we go that way, we will be helping. When it comes to these resources, I think they do not belong to our regions. They belong to the nation and are in the interest of Kenyans. The quicker they are exploited, the better for Kenyans."
