    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I second the Motion as proposed by my Chair. In our first meeting, the Senate had issues coming to terms with what our position was as the National Assembly. In the second meeting they started agreeing and basic things like definition of a community had taken too long for them to take a position on but finally we agreed. They had other issues on strategic minerals. Immediately they agreed we went to Clause 7 and it was agreed that the CS must get advice from the board before gazettment is done. That was agreed on in principle. The Senate wanted the Council of Governors (CoG) to be represented on this board but it was eventually agreed that the person to be nominated must have adequate knowledge of mining. There were other issues on areas of prospecting. An example is what is happening with mining in Kitui. When a company has gone to prospect, it is important for the local community to be informed well in advance so that, at least, they can give room for them to roam around people’s land. Otherwise, something like geo-survey which does not require direct contact with the people had no issue. As a result, it was resolved that the community needs to be consulted during prospecting but not during geo-survey. It is very important for any investor to go to the Nairobi Stock Exchange (NSE). This is because it is very important to allow Kenyans to have access to the shares. They can only do that if they have gone to the stock market. It was agreed between the Senate and the National Assembly Committees that three years is adequate. Initially, as the National Assembly, we had thought of four years but we agreed on three years as a result of which I second."
