    "content": "Hon. Speaker, touching on royalties because that is where the interest of the people is, I think it is ideal that we capture it on the Bill. As my colleague said, we should put it at 30 per cent. I know that there will be some reservations on this but it is high time we made sure that royalties also go to the people where these minerals are found. We know that minerals are under the national Government but our people also need to be enlightened or given some education on this. This is because sometimes they start fighting amongst themselves or with the Government and saying that those are their resources. They ask why they are not being involved or why they are not being given a big chunk of royalties. So, there is need for us to create awareness for them to understand that the minerals are not only under county governments but they are also under the national Government. It is the national Government which will have to sit down and decide how much percentage will be given to the people."
