    "content": "Hon. Speaker, the Bill also touches on employment and training of Kenyans. This is covered under Clauses 44 and 45 of the Bill. Clause 45 of the Bill talks about preference in employment by holders of mineral right. Since these minerals are found in communities, it will only be fair to give priorities to members of the marginalized communities and the rest of the Kenyan citizenry in that order. Like I said I know it will be controversial and will be termed discriminatory. However, Article 56(b)(c) of the Constitution expressly provides that the State shall put in place affirmative action and programmes designed to ensure that minorities and marginalized groups are provided special opportunities in education and economic fields. They should also be provided with special opportunities for access of employment."
