    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order No.44(2)(c), I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairperson Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources regarding the Miranda Corridor Gold Exploration. Since pre-colonial times, parts of the western belt, especially sections of present day Kakamega County have been known to be rich in mineral deposits especially, gold. Indeed, the name Ikolomani is the corrupted version for ‘goldmine’ where locals have for long been earning a living through artisanal gold mining. In the recent past, Acacia Exploration Kenya Limited and International Mining Company have been prospecting for large scale and economically viable deposits of gold in Miranda Gold Corridor Exploration comprising parts of Kakamega, Siaya and Kisumu Counties. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
