    "content": "This Bill must address the issue of corruption, particularly with regard to people who collude with even the Ministry of Energy. You find a few people becoming billionaires in the process of mining just because there is no legal regulatory framework. Therefore, this Bill is very important to all of us. It should draw a clear roadmap, so that communities in the counties as well as the National Government can literally benefit from mining. Another thing I would like to emphasise on this particular Bill is the sharing of the profits. The National Government has a stake. The county governments should have a stake. The local communities should have a stake. The National Land Commission should also have a stake in mining. The mining companies will also have a stake. The question that this Bill should address is the ratios that are going to be applied for every category and every stakeholder to feel comfortable and well compensated, so that they can see the venture as fruitful as opposed to one or two stakeholders being very happy and proud about the exercise at the expense of the other stakeholders. So, we need to look at this Bill with a tooth-comb, so that we can only streamline the aspirations of the Kenyans and bring them in tandem with it."
