    "content": "between the role that counties play and shares that counties get from mining. Such shares go to activities or Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) that will ensure residents of a particular county benefit from mining activities. We know, for instance, the ratios involving mining where both national and county governments ought to benefit. However, the activities must be regulated first. I hope this statement by Sen. Eddie Oketch will make the committee to visit Macalder Mines. We need to ascertain the framework that governs mining of copper and gold in Migori County. That will help with the regulation of mining, so that other counties can also learn from the framework because the Migori one is a big embarrassment. It will expose this sector and the role that foreigners play in prospecting, mining and commercialisation of minerals that we know under the Mining Act which essentially belong to the Government. According to the Mining Act, minerals and mineral oils belong to the Government. However, there is a delicate framework between the national Government and the 47 county governments. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is an important feat. I ask the Chair, Sen. Methu, to focus on this area aside from his other murima activities. I thank you."
