    "content": "This country has discovered vast amounts of oil, natural gas, coal, limestone and iron ore. There is so much that this country can benefit from extracting minerals. We should not make this country unattractive by taxing these extractive industries so highly. If you tax them highly, Kenya will not be attractive. We should balance so that the taxes will not put them off. I had said that earlier. I said that Kenya would be the richest country in this region of Africa. It is Biblical; it has been prophesied and it is called the land south of Kush. Kush is Biblical and the Quran called it Ethiopia. The country south of Ethiopia is Kenya and so in the Bible it says that this country is blessed with abundant minerals. So, we can make life better for every Kenyan so long as we continue with the exploration; so long as we continue attracting foreign companies to come, extract and put in good structures where tax regimes will not put them off. Every Kenyan’s life will be changed and affected in the best way possible."
