    "content": "So, corruption should be discouraged in this country by ensuring that there are more controls so that people may not misuse their powers. There are those small miners who are also captured in this Bill. Their interests should be well taken care of, because they have made various discoveries in terms of minerals. I know if they are not well protected, the big players or miners will come and take over those minerals without caring who discovered them in the first place. So, they need to be protected so that they are not snatched from them. There are issues of benefits sharing, I know the Bill itself did not capture that, but the Committee is trying to capture it, so that the benefits accruing from those mining activities can be shared both at the national level, county level and the local communities. The biggest issue is to decide on what ratios we are going to be sharing the benefits from those mining activities."
