    "content": "Hon. Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 13 be amended by- (a) deleting the word “may” appearing immediately after the word “Secretary” and substituting therefor the words “shall upon recommendation of the Mineral Rights Board” in sub-clause (1), and (b) inserting the words “and artisanal” immediately after the words “small scale” in sub-clause (2). Hon. Chairlady, this is an important reference, so that the other amendment can be looked at in that light. Following large stakeholders’ and Member’s input that we remove discretional powers of issuing licences from the Cabinet Secretary, our Committee proposes the establishment of a body known as the ‘Mineral Rights Board,’ so that the Cabinet does not give any licenses anymore unless he has received recommendations from the Mineral Rights Board. That is the import of amendment (a). Amendment (b) speaks to the inclusion and the legalization of artisanal mining in Kenya. We are making reference to artisanal mining, which then makes it legal. So, amendment (a) and (b) are speaking to the inclusion of artisanal miners. So, the Cabinet Secretary will not be able to give anything without the recommendation of the Mineral Rights Board. I beg to move."
