    "content": "In particular, without prejudice to the generality of their power, the Cabinet shall make regulations for the prescribing of the fees, mode of payment and details that have to be put into place. As much as we put the committees in place, we need these regulations so that we find this trickling down to the counties. Many times as we move around to various communities, they kept on saying they want their communities to matter and better themselves. We want our communities to get back from what has been developed from where they have come. We want them to be happy and relate with their natural resources. We want to enhance the natural resources sector through this Bill so that we have a commonality across the board. You will realize legislations sometimes handle forestry or water separately with different modes put into places. The idea was to create a formality and a legislative framework that makes it possible for these communities to have something to hold on to in terms of reference points as they look for that important benefit sharing component which is owed to them by virtue of the natural resources being in their specific counties and wards. Also, as they look for a better future, they think about how best they can progress. This was the spirit of the Bill. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to stop there because I think we have covered the main components, structures, the way to go about it, local communities and various authorities that have been put into place. We think this will change the communities. We are looking forward to a time when communities can be proud of the natural resources and that they are able to socially benefit. Benefit sharing becomes a reality in these communities. With that, I beg to move and request Sen. Wamatangi who was the Vice Chairperson at the last Senate 2013-2017 to second this Bill."
