    "content": "There are two issues I want to point out about this Bill, which is unique. I know most of my colleagues have talked extensively in terms of resource exploitation. I think every county has a unique resource. When you go to Kisumu County where Sen. Nyamunga comes from, they have Lake Victoria where fishing is done. A new port is also being developed there. In Nandi, apart from agriculture, we have gold around Chemelil/Chemase area. We have many other unique resources. A petition was brought to this House concerning exploitation of gold in Chemelil/Chemase. Up to now, we have never known the true value. The private miners in Kaborogin and Chemelil/Chemase generate around USD120 million. When you look at the Mining Act and the Mining Regulations of 2015, there is community development agreement where the people are supposed to get 10 per cent. If that was the case, Chemelil/Chemase Ward would get around USD12 million. That money would be used for community development in Nandi."
