    "content": "that aspect of legislation is missing in mining. I remember I engaged with the Mining Act at the time it was a Bill. That was a component that would have helped. We earlier on this afternoon talked about public participation. It is entrenched in the Constitution and the laws. However, we have issues in terms of the way it is actualised. That specific gap is there. If that organized or empowered voice speaks clearly, adequately and have a point of engagement that would help. Madam Deputy Speaker, I support the Statement. We need a real commitment about when the answer to this question about operations of Karebe Gold Mine Company Limited in Nandi County will be laid out bare. Sen. Cherargei needs to go to that place where the Committee will be holding its sessions and further scrutinize these issues. This is a very general issue on operations which are so broad. There must be some nitty-gritty details in there. It is at that Committee where you can ask for specifications and for those specific nitty-gritty issues so that they are brought to light and you get the answer to this. I feel their session should be conducted in public so that the people of Nandi County on whose behalf he has raised this Statement, understand what may be happening. This is because for many generations, people feel that these are our natural resources. They want to feel as part and parcel of those natural resources. There is nothing you can do about removing that feeling from them. I thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker."
