    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, listening to the Deputy Prime Minister and the Minister for Finance’s Speech, I noted that one of the key goals of the Budget for this year, was to broaden economic opportunities for all Kenyans. In essence, this is a very good goal for the Government. But my thinking is that one of the areas that the Government has neglected over the years and has made it difficult to broaden economic opportunities for Kenyans, is exploitation of the natural resources of this country. In my constituency, for example, there are companies that have been operating there for nearly 30 years in the name of prospecting for gold. The Government apparently, does not show an interest. It continually carries out the products of the mining to other countries in the name of testing. I think these are a lot of resources wasted for Kenya. I think the Deputy Prime Minister and the Minister for Finance should have been bold and in the Budget, allowed for something that Kenya has not done since we became independent; that is, conclusive resource mapping for the whole country. It is a pity that as we speak here today, this Government has no idea which part of the country has which resources."
