    "content": "from those areas where the exploitation of the natural resources is taking place may have other factors that can be included in this Bill. But I support it very strongly because I have looked at the intention and purpose of this law. It is very clear that the Bill seeks to establish the NRBSA to ensure sharing in resource exploitation among the resource exploiters, the national Government, county governments and local communities. That is the main thing which does not exist in this country. That is the reason I fully support the Mover of this Bill. There are many other important issues in the Bill. The way members of this NRBSA will be appointed is very well considered. I think that we are going in the right direction as a result of this Bill, in terms of the exploitation of minerals and natural resources. The Mover of the Bill is very clear in her mind about what it should do in future when it becomes law. After passing this Bill, I hope that the Government will issue rules and regulations to manage this sector. There will be a lot of consultations with the county governments and the local people, so that they can understand that whatever is in the Bill is for their benefit. There are people who are already established in the mining industry. They have used all manner of ways to survive over the years. I think the time has come for the Government to pull up their socks, through initiatives such as this Bill. The Board shall have all the powers necessary to perform the functions of the NRBSA. My problem is not the qualifications of the persons to serve in the board. Unfortunately in this country when we appoint people to serve, they decide to benefit themselves."
