• Any steps taken to engage with the El-Molo community, including details of the persons involved, the date(s) of such engagements, and a summary of the outcomes of such processes.
• Whether KenGen accepts that there has been insufficient engagement with this community concerning the Marsabit project.
• KenGen’s proposals for further engagement with the El-Molo community.
