    "content": "Hon. Speaker, the Ministry calls on the local leadership and the county governments to team up with it in facilitating development of local entrepreneurship to prepare and enable the locals to participate in supply of goods and services. There was a question on the services and infrastructure development that the Ministry, under Acacia Exploration Kenya Limited, intends to roll out within Lihanda Gold Corridor. The company is still at the exploration stage. Therefore, it is not in a position to start planning for services and infrastructure development, until it is proven that the gold deposit is profitable to mine. Mining companies develop their infrastructure such as roads and water supply to serve the mining operations. If there is any need to share the said infrastructure with communities, negotiations can be initiated. If the Government wishes the company to develop services and infrastructure on its behalf, then the two parties will enter into negotiations on how to go about such projects. The Mining Act provides the community development agreements. The communities which are affected by mining enter into agreements with the mining companies which disburse at least 1 per cent of their gross mineral sales revenue to the community for social projects."
