    "content": "idea of ensuring that we have proper infrastructural development in the first place and ensure that we can actually anchor and exploit the specific resources. They talked about the importance of making sure that at the end of the day, the cultural value--- Sen. Mositet talked about this; that this value is not completely lost in the process. I think that at the end of the day, the strength of this Bill is that it moves on to talk about an important aspect, that is, the distribution. In Clause 26, where the distribution is stipulated, it ensures that we are moving to a point where we know that royalties, money and fees charges are collected. However, we are saying that we need to find a mechanism for the redistribution. It does not matter which natural resource; we need to find a redistributive mechanism. Some of the Acts and Statutes, as Sen. Mugo suggested, need to be merged together. However, we need to be very careful to ensure that at the end of the day, all of them are merged in such a way that the redistributive aspect is not lost. The idea of putting all the legislation together to make it easy for reference and implementation, is a good idea but we also need to remember that the various sectors are quite diverse and there is a lot of variance in the way these particular sectors are run and operated. This is something for us to think about even as we continue moving forward. I think with that and the comments and feedback that has come, I am sure we will move forward towards producing a very good Bill from the Senate of Kenya. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, with those remarks, I reply. Thank you."
