    "content": "look into these issues and give answers. I am happy to see Hon. Kenta here because he is the Chair of the Committee on Implementation. The questions that have not been answered by the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations should be taken up by the Committee on Implementation. Let the Ministry of Defence come and defend this position. There are very many other pieces of land. If, indeed, they find that an environmental impact assessment was not done, then this project must be stopped until we have a clear indication that the social disenfranchisement of the people of Narok and interference with the fragile ecosystem of the Mara is an issue to be dealt with. We know the issue of willing buyer willing seller is there once one decides to sell their land. But we must not close our eyes to things which can affect us. Even that very national project, because I am sure the national Government would like to have a project in a peaceful area that is supported by the local communities, we cannot close our eyes to the environment that the national Government project is going to operate in. On the issue of the acquisition of land, some of the land is already in controversy. Why the hurry and kind of force this to go through without first looking at the critical issues which have been raised by members of the community in the Committee’s Report? As I commend the work and proactive nature of the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations, I still feel they need to have serious answers to some of the questions they raised in their TOR."
