    "content": "Hon. Temporary Speaker, as that is put into consideration, the counties that have natural resources should be put into consideration so that the local people who qualify for those positions be considered. When it comes to number 28(2)(a), the County Beneficiary Committee shall consist of the County Executive Committee members responsible for finance and all these other things. Number (d) says that five persons of which, two of them, should be of the opposite gender. I am excited about this simply because it takes into consideration the gender. In the past, gender has not been put into consideration, and that women have been left behind when it comes to such appointments. As we consider women, let us also consider the young girls or ladies who are qualified, and capable to sit in those boards. Number five (5), the Members of the County Beneficiary Committee shall elect a Chairperson amongst themselves. Some of us come from counties that have already had some conflict. Marsabit County where I come from, is an area where many people are suffering because of gold. They get a lot of interference when they try to mine. There is a lot of interference from outsiders, foreigners and strangers trying to frustrate the local people. Adequate responsibility should be given to the county government and opportunity be given to the local people because it is a must that it benefits them. When it comes to sharing, it should be 50/50 so that even the local people can benefit fully and get recognised. I support you, Thank you."
