    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have heard about benefit sharing when it comes to the county governments. This House has heard it and we have experienced the fact that decentralization to the county level has not meant fair distribution of resources. So, we may have governors getting dividends from minerals but the targeted beneficiaries – those who suffered or vacated their lands so as to enable the minerals to be exploited – may not get anything. So, we have to do something to make sure that those who are directly affected and displaced by those mines get a good share. I would propose a bigger share than the county government because it is those who suffer who should be compensated and not a bureaucracy that has placed itself in-between the people and the State in Nairobi."
