    "content": "When a Statement like this is brought about the status of operations at Karebe Gold Mining Company in Nandi county, as it has be said by other speakers, it affect other counties that have natural resources. In the Standing Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources, we did not find any single county that did not have natural resources. I think the delink comes because the mining Bill---, it is actually an Act now. The legislative proposal or law that is operational has not given a systematic, functional and applicable way of involving the community. That particular Act goes on to give the proportions; for example, for a beneficiary sharing which would help to address the issues that are raised in this Statement. However, the specific way to go about it, is to interact with the investors and let them know our stand? Who are the members of the community who are the front liners in addressing this issue? There is need to empower communities both at the county and community levels. These committees will comprise elders and respected people who will understand what goes on in terms of mining and extraction of any natural resource. Madam Deputy Speaker, the relevant legislation has not in effect put that particular connection in place."
