"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I believe it is a fair deal for this country. I have said the total taxes and other dues Magadi Soda pays us amount to Kshs1.294 billion per year. I have also said that in 2004, the rate that they paid per tonne went up to Kshs25. The rate was negotiated to Kshs25 per tonne for soda ash and Kshs18 per tonne for raw soda. In 2004, the Government started more negotiations and we are thinking of reviewing those rates, but I believe it is a fair deal. Prior to 2004, they used to pay us Kshs1 million per year for royalties. From 2003/2004, they have been paying over Kshs15 million, which I think is a fair deal for our country."
