    "content": "Some of the speakers who have commented about the experiences of mining and the curse of resources have alluded to this fact. The point that is being made is that if you look at the countries which have experienced the so-called curse for resources, you will find that it is basically because of lack of transparency and accountability to the people. One of the most important expectations from this Bill was for the Government to, first and foremost, come up with a strategic policy paper which can inform why this legislation is being made and let the country know what to expect when we go into mining. That is the only way you can inform prospective investors that this is what the country has to offer to them before they make a decision whether to invest or not to invest. On the other hand, it can inform all the other stakeholders; the community, Government and the county government what their legitimate expectations are."
