"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Assistant Minister for giving that elaborate answer and, in fact, for accepting that there is gold deposit in this area. In fact, in most parts of Migori and Nyatike, we have gold deposits. The people who are currently mining, as the Assistant Minister states, are the poor youths in the area who can afford living without this type of business. What is the Ministry doing to ensure that they can facilitate these youth to get some livelihood in that area? This can be done by giving them certain facilities that they can use. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this has been going on for the last 13 years; it started in 1997 as the Assistant Minister put it. All this time, there is nothing forthcoming to benefit the community. That is why the youths who should have been benefiting are now resorting to doing the mining at a very small scale by themselves. What is the Ministry doing to ensure that these youths are capacitated to make sure that they can earn some living out of this wealth?"
