    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also rise to contribute to this Bill. This is a Bill that is required to be enacted under Article 71 of the Constitution. Generally, I support the Bill, save for a few amendments that will be necessary during the Third Reading. The strict reading of Article 71 of the Constitution, outlaws some of the exemptions of classes of transactions in the Bill, especially the sweeping Clause 4(2)(b), which says that the grant of a concession or aright by a private person to exploit a natural resources through an agreement or a contract, could mean very many things. If such concession is allowed, that could be a window to allow any other transaction as long as it is entered into by a private person to be granted without the authority of Parliament. That could also mean extraction of huge amounts of natural resources belonging to Kenya."
