    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, at the sitting of the Senate held on 25th September, 2018, the Senator for Nandi County, Sen. Cherargei, presented to the Senate a petition by residents of Tinderet Sub County in Nandi County on the operations of Karebe Gold Mining Limited in Nandi County. The Petition was thereafter committed to the Senate Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, but following considerations by the committee, it resolved to recommit the matter, through the Speaker of the Senate, to the Committee on Land, Environment and Natural Resources, having noted that most of the matters raised in the Petition touched its mandate. The committee noted that Karebe Gold Mining Limited had operated on Mr. Cheseret arap Korir’s land for 10 years until its licence expired in January 2019 and a court ruling in favour of Mr. Cheseret arap Korir ordered the company to vacate the land. Consequently, Karebe Gold Mining Limited stopped its operations and laid off the workers following the court ruling. The Committee recommended that before renewal of the mining licence to Karebe Gold Mining Limited, the Ministry of Petroleum and Mining should ensure that the company has fully addressed the concerns of the previous employees. It is good for the employees to be taken care of because all the employees were laid off. We know how joblessness has affected this country. So, those employees should be catered for. I will now move to the next."
