"content": "In this Bill, there are two parts of mining. There is the prospective part of the mining, operation; and there is the real mining or operation of the mining industry. When you look at this Bill, for example, the rights in private or public land, it makes it difficult for an investor to come and invest in this country. This is because when we put so many regulations that before you know there is something to be mined or not, you have to have consent of the owner of the land and yet we are trying to see if there are minerals there, what if the owner of the land says he wants Kshs10 billion before you look for minerals? Would that prospective investor want to go on with that? He will run away and when he does that, what happens? We are losing the natural resources that lie beneath this country."
