    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the Bill. You are aware that parts of Kakamega have some gold deposits. However, we have lost a number of productive people because the business has been done crudely, haphazardly and by exploitative forces. The community, the county government and the country have lost people and revenue. Some of the people who have engaged our local people in mining are basically smugglers. The Bill could not have come at a better time. Therefore, I thank Hon. Shinali and Members of the Committee for bringing it to this House. We know western Kenya has been discriminated in other developments. I see this as a God-sent opportunity that no one can take away from us. We will improve the lives of our people if we realign, smoothen the activity, and have a legal framework to mine gold. We will also improve the per capita income of the people of Lurambi and Ikolomani in Kakamega, those in Bondo and other parts of Siaya, as well as those in Migori and some parts of Homa The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
