Speaker, it is against this background that I seek a Statement from the Chairperson, Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources to address the following issues: (i) What estimated value and quantity of gold deposits in the Miranda Gold Corridor has Acacia Exploration Kenya Limited identified, and what mining methods does the company intend to deploy in mining the gold in this particular region, in light of sustainability of the environment? (ii) What is the ownership of Acacia Exploration Kenya Ltd that has been awarded the rights to prospect Gold in Miranda Gold Corridor, and does it have local shareholdings?
