    "content": "Hon. Chairlady, the reason as to why we are adding the Mineral Rights Board is that it is a consequential amendment. The hon. member for Marakwet East needs to wait until when we are including clause 29(a), which is what seeks to establish the Mineral Rights Board. He can raise his objections then. On the issue of whether this is a body that will get funding from the national Government, the essence of this body will be to deal with the mischief that Members were complaining about. We were saying that we did not want a Cabinet Secretary who will be issuing, revoking and suspending licences. When we establish an institution to deal with that, you say that money will be spent! You cannot have your cake and eat it too. You either want transparency and an accountably system, or you want to save money and leave the discretion to an individual. It is a choice that we need to make when we reach new 29A."
