    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also want to comment on the statement by Sen. Onyonka on exploration of minerals. Last week, we were here discussing the issue of minerals and we said that we would like to see more transparency and accountability in the process of managing mining in this country. Exploration is a serious matter. We have companies exploring minerals without following procedures. They come and claim that they are exploring when in the real sense, they are actually mining. One of the companies is Shanta Gold Limited, which is exploring gold on the boundary between Vihiga and Siaya. However, in the true sense, they are actually mining gold and taking advantage of the people. There is no public participation, proper engagement or Cooperate Social Responsibility (CSR). This is a very serious matter. I thank Sen. Onyonka for bringing it up. The committee concerned should dig deeper into this matter, so that such companies that exploit our people are brought to book and action is taken against them. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support."
