    "content": "So, we have to consider what we call “local contents”. We have realised at one point that a foreign investor would come to an area and all his employees are foreigners. The contractors and even their currency are foreign. We wonder what benefit we get from such a resource. If the contractor is a foreigner and all those working there are foreigners, what value does Kenya get from this resource? You will find that all the benefit from this resource goes out of our country and it does not benefit Kenyans. It is high time this Bill put in place strict measures that if you are a foreign investor, 50 or 80 per cent of the benefits must remain here in Kenya so that we do not become non-beneficiaries of our own resources. The local community must be given priority and benefits so that it does not remain poor and yet it has oil."
