    "content": "On the issue of compensation, I agree that the community should be given 10 per cent and not five per cent. In the Mining Act, we do have 10, 20 and 70 per cent allocated. Let us use 10 per cent on the communities for them to also benefit. This is a timely amendment, and we look forward to it being passed. In the future, we need to discuss real issues. I have seen my colleagues asking for Inter-Parties Parliamentary Group (IPPG) on Building Bridges Initiative. Instead of doing that, they should allow the courts to do their work. Let us concentrate on issues that affect Kenyans. Compensating somebody who is in Makueni or Taita Taveta counties will mean a lot to them as opposed to chasing the wind. I support this and look forward to introducing some amendments in consultation with Sen. Mwaruma. I commend Sen. Mwaruma for this brilliant amendment. I hope to see it going into fruition."
