• 24 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: The first issue was with regard to interface with the Mara Game Reserve ecosystem, which has been pointed out here. The second issue was to do with the presence of the military in that area. I must tell you that the site is quite away from the beaten track. Some people felt that the presence of the military in that area could have some negative effects. Thirdly, there were some complaints about the price offered. Most of them felt that the price offered was below the market value. Fourthly, there were issues to do with the way the land was ... view
• 24 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: I want to make it very clear that in matters of public participation, we had a very good meeting with the community and all these issues were thrashed out.

However, nobody should contest the fact that the country needs to have these facilities. The land has been acquired on the basis of willing buyer willing seller. view
• 24 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: I urge this House to seriously look at the Report and approve it because we want to move from here and go to the next two sites. One of the concerns I have picked from this House is a concern by a Member as to why the radar was procured before the land was acquired. That is a serious and genuine concern.
