    "content": "I ask my brother, Hon. Shinyali, who we are depending on as our leader in that area, to organise and have an administrative unit to organise the whole place. It is unfortunate that people are looking for jobs, but there are none. That is why the boys and girls who rushed there died. They were only looking for income. I suggest we sit down and organise ourselves so that apart from gold mining, we govern the exploration of other natural resources. We have read history and know very well that Europeans rushed to Africa because it had all the natural resources. Maybe, we can even get gold in Nairobi. We have to organise and sort out the biggest problem that we have today. Let us see to it that this Bill is passed so that locals can have a source of income. We cannot blame the young men that we are mourning. They rushed to that place because it provided them income. The Ministry of Mining, Blue Economy, and Maritime Affairs should go there and take charge. It should organise the whole mining structure to avoid a repeat of the same for the benefit of the people of Kakamega and the country at large. I support this Bill and ask the Member of Parliament, the Mover of the Bill, to take leadership like he has done now, not because of the people who lost their lives but for the future of this country. Let him be on record and assist the Ministry and our people to do proper gold mining in the area. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I support this Bill. Thank you."
