    "content": "have formidable investments that can sustain the gold refinery activities that we should be able to begin soon. So, going forward, I assure the House that we are now very keen. I am aware that before our regime, there had been a lot of malpractices on the issue of licensing, which we have now addressed. That is why, if we gave you the number of licenses that we have cancelled, there are very many. We are even removing some from the system. Therefore, I assure the House that even though we have a situation report, a baseline, which everybody talks about, we are now going to better days where minerals will be beneficial to Kenyans. We have quite a number of initiatives that we will be working on with this House to ensure that we continuously update our regulations and policies, and we work together. Most of these business people who are doing all these malpractices, also have local agents. That is why, right now, we have decided even to deport some of them so that they can set a good example. Then we begin to breathe fresh air in this particular sector. Therefore, I assure you, Mheshimiwa, first of all, we will visit Ikolomani. I am not sure whether we will visit your plot, but if you invite us for Ingokho, we can visit. However, we want to work comprehensively on the potential for gold in Western Kenya including Kakamega, Vihiga, Siaya, Migori, and Homa Bay, so that we can have a central point where value addition can take place. Already the response is very good. A number of investors who would wish to make gold refinery investments in various parts of our country. Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I submit."
