    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I would also like to say that some pastoral areas where we are discovering minerals are areas that are strategic grazing or drought reserve areas for these communities. In my county, our economy is basically a livestock economy and we rely on livestock. Some of the areas where we are discovering minerals are strategic drought reserve areas for our animals. Some of these areas are not gazetted at all in the documents held by the National Land Commission. So, if minerals are discovered in some of the strategic drought reserve areas and the communities are not involved, then conflicts will arise. I urge the Committee to include the areas that have already been mapped in northern Kenya as strategic grazing or drought reserve areas. Mining should be done in those areas very carefully."
