    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I would like to associate myself with the petitioners. They brought some issue to light. One is that the impact assessment has not been done. Two, to date, coal is archaic. It is dirty energy. We cannot be told that we should exploit it under the circumstances because it is economic. Exploitation of this resource goes against the whole of Article 42. That Article speaks about clean environment being a basic right. So, irrespective of the monetary value that ensues from this resource, because it is against the Constitution and the rights of the individuals or the occupants of Kitui and Mwingi, it is bad. Secondly, no impact assessment was done because they want to exploit it in a hurry. It is because they know the impact assessment will not pass any known test in the world. I am a Member of the Departmental Committee on Energy and I have stated before that every country in the world is running away from coal. Why are we going back to coal?"
