    "content": "instructions that anybody who will be given a licence must provide a way on how to engage in employment and training. That is the first requirement which has never happened even in hydrocarbons and petroleum industries. You will find that the people who do exploration are not from Kenya. Even if they pump in about Kshs1 billion, that is just an example, out of that, 80 per cent goes to them. However, Clause 46 of this Bill is very clear and it states: “The holder of a mineral right shall give preference in employment to citizens of Kenya.” This is very clear unlike other Bills which we have seen. So, this Bill will ensure that Kenyans will acquire skills and be employed in the complex business of minerals. So, we need to support this Bill. It is very elaborate and touches on all areas. It has an exit clause for those who will not perform and dispute resolution mechanism, in case of a dispute arising from how to share capital among even the locals or the Government. Everything has been explained in this Bill. It also covers very well the health and environment impact factors, which the previous laws did not capture. For example, the people who live in the area where titanium is mined can complain if they encounter problems. So, the Bill really captures all those issues and I want to urge this House to support it 100 per cent. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to second."
