Hon. Chairlady, stakeholders in this sector pointed out that the use of technical and financial capacity as a condition for issuing licences will close out artisanal miners and small-scale miners. So, we are proposing that those provisions be exempted from applications received on artisanal mining and small-scale mining that is wholly owned by Kenyans."}
