    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank you for giving me an opportunity to support this Bill which has been sponsored by Sen. (Dr.) Zani. I would also like to congratulate her for being the best Senator from her county. Sen. (Dr.) Zani has brought forth a very important Bill that is going to be a game changer to our local communities if it sees the light of day. The one thing that clearly comes out in this Bill is that there are; natural resource exploiters, the National Government, the county governments and the local communities. Those four entities are all interested parties in natural resources. It is unfortunate that if one happens to own land where gold can be mined, that land ceases to be yours. There are usually very many interested parties. People will allocate themselves that land and within no time, you find yourself displaced. It is usually a harrowing experience for an individual to find himself in such a situation and his family. It is a golden opportunity for one to have natural resources in their parcel of land and that person should benefit from it. We have cases of gold mines in Kakamega County, but the stories from there are very sad. Jobless graduates from those areas end up mining gold, but they do not benefit directly from that gold. It is unfortunate that the exploiters of natural resources end up exploiting the local people who are the rightful beneficiaries of those resources. This Bill will ensure that the rightful owners of those resources benefit from them. The man or woman whose land has gold, oil or any other natural resources should benefit from the natural resources together with his lineage."
