    "content": "of Nandi if Sen. Cherargei finds time to consult Sen. (Dr.) Zani on the issues of local content and of benefit sharing because there is a lot of work done. Madam Deputy Speaker, the intervention by Sen. Ochillo-Ayacko was not properly executed because what Sen. (Dr.) Zani meant is not that there is a lacuna or that the laws do not exist. As it is today, the Government can implement beneficial sharing for the people where all these minerals fare found. It should not be that after Rosterman left with Kshs4 billion worth of gold in Kakamega, we still have poverty yet there is potential of Kshs171 billion. The greatest resource we have in this country is about the ground, which God bequeathed us. The people of Mombasa, Kwale, Diani and Kilifi should benefit from the God given resource of the port and the sea. Today, we have cartels who making billions of shillings in trawling and fishing. There are people who are fishing with Japanese trawler after getting licenses as Kenyans are making so much money that would transform the form of poverty that exists in the Coast. The people of Sen. Cherargei located in Karebe, should be very wealthy. The people of Taita Taveta County who are also my relatives should be benefiting from the rubies, tsavorites and all the other minerals that exist there. Madam Deputy Speaker, it is a poor indictment on us that we went to Mashinani and people were so existed to see us. That Petition was the highlight of that entire sitting yet to date, nothing has come out of that visit. I wish to add strength to that statement and ask that the relevant Committee do justice to the people of Nandi County. When the Committee will be looking into it, they should remember my relatives in Ikolomani, Bushangala, Migori and Taita Taveta."
