    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I wish to support this Statement and say that we have left our natural resources in a disorganized manner for far too long. Communities have cried out over and over again. We know what the issues are and what happens every year. At one time and one season we have a lot of water and the next time we do not have it. The next thing is that we have communities that need to have certain money or assets. Although they have been very rich in supplying certain natural resources, they end up not being able to do that. There are so many Bills that are stuck on this. Recently, we have seen many Kenyans asking about the oil sale that was done and what sought of revenue went back to the communities. In this House we have worked so hard overtime to ensure that this sector is organized. We have the Disaster Management Bill that Sen. Sakaja has mentioned and the Natural Resources Bill. Unfortunately, all these have ended up as being money Bills at the National Assembly. Through this Statement, we need to put these issues across. This is because communities are suffering and looking unto us to be able to make these decisions. We would, therefore, like in this Statement to have clarity about the way forward, what we will do with these Bills, policies that need to be put into place, what will go back to communities and what communities do when there is drought and too much rain in their communities. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir."
