    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I stand to support this Statement. It touches on very critical issues that we have disposed of this House before; issues of resources and communities participating in processes that touch on the resources within those particular counties. An anomaly has been well pointed out. The one I have picked out, which is very key, is to get to the bottom of how a Board could be put in place without the regulations. Time and time again, especially where legislation is made, and where certain procedures are meant to be followed, then it is important that they are followed. It is not like they are put there in place just for them to remain there. Even as we interrogate this within the Committee on Tourism, Trade and Industrialization, we need to find out exactly what went wrong. We will be able to have the Cabinet Secretary coming there to explain how he could appoint a Board without coming up with the regulations? How could we have a Board that does not meet specific threshold? This is becoming more and more an anomaly and a way of doing things. We know, for example, that the composition even within the local communities is very important. They are the ones who know the expertise that they have, how things are run there and have the biggest interest in those matters. The issue of gender rule has been pointed out. I think this is very critical especially for the people of Mombasa, and by extension the people of the coast region.
