    "content": "the possible loopholes that would enable one to exploit newly discovered minerals to his benefit without notifying the Cabinet Secretary. Hon. Deputy Speaker, the other aspect that I would like to address in this Bill is that of who gains. Many hon. Members have spoken to the issue of communities living in areas where minerals are discovered. There must be a proper mechanism of ensuring that the communities benefit immensely. I come from a county which, perhaps, has no potential for minerals. I doubt whether there are mineral deposits in Kabete Constituency but that notwithstanding, there is need for us to ensure that communities living around areas where minerals are discovered benefit because the minerals were deposited there by God. They do not belong to anybody. They belong to Kenyans. It is part of our land. Minerals must benefit Kenyans, if discovered in an area where there are communities that live there. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
