    "content": "not do things that will be dangerous to this country, like what has happened in some areas. Parliament, as the representative of Kenyans, must be involved in agreements. We must ratify them and ensure that they will be for the benefit of the people. We are the ones who represent the people, not anybody else. When it comes to personnel, it is important that our people are trained, so that they can eventually take over from the foreigners. As it is now, foreign minors import machinery, labour and everything else used in the extraction process and then export all the output of all the labour. We are saying that our people must be trained. There is a timeframe for Kenyans to take over jobs they are not qualified for at the moment. We mentioned about the powers of the Cabinet Secretary. We know of course that these resources belong to the national government; however, we have said it is dangerous to put all the powers in the hands of one person. We have seen some licenses cancelled unceremoniously and many other things happening; we are saying it will not happen again in Kenya. There must be a responsible board; that is why there will be a Minerals Rights Board. It will actually have a chairman appointed by the President and other officers who will be able and capable."
