    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. However there is fluorspar as a mineral in that area. Therefore, if you wanted to get to know what the actual benefits of that mineral are, you will even see that the road from Iten to Tambach, Kabarnet and then down to Nakuru was made possible because of such mineral deposits which were to be transported before they are exported. Through that, the infrastructure of the place had to be done. A lot of money was used to construct and expand the road. These are some of the benefits we are trying to look for. The moment such benefits accrue, people in those mining areas will benefit. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, there are other examples like the minerals from Suswa, Mt. Longonot region and those areas that produce gas. We also have the Maasai who are seeking compensation. They have become more aware of their environment because they want to know what benefits they will get from such mineral exploitation. As a result of this, we have very many people who live in such mineral rich areas benefiting from the same. The prospecting companies, whether foreign, will construct other facilities such as hospitals, schools and other social amenities that will affect the people living in those areas. This happens because of the spill-over of the money that is accrued from the sale of those minerals. We are, therefore, supporting a Bill which will earn us a lot of money. That is why I think it is necessary to support this Bill. I beg to support."
