    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, where the rubber will meet the road on this matter is how the coal that is found in Kitui County will benefit, first and foremost, the people of Kitui before even benefitting Kenya; how the oil in Turkana – and now I am told even in Elgeyo-Marakwet, possibly – will first benefit the people of those counties before it benefits the rest of Kenya; how the titanium in Kwale and the iron ore in Tharaka-Nithi will benefit the people of those counties before benefitting Kenya. So, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this Bill has come at an appropriate time. It will run fictitious and briefcase prospectors of minerals out of town for good. You must have not only the technical capacity, but also the financial capacity; we must know who you are. It will also remove the powers of granting mineral rights from one person to institutions, especially the Mineral Rights Board, among other institutions. So, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I do not want to repeat myself. I just want to say how happy and proud I am that I have benefitted from the contributions that have been made by my colleague Senators. With those few remarks, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that the Mining Bill (National Assembly Bill No.8 of 2014) be read a Second Time. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to move. On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir."
