    "content": "Mr. TemporarySpeaker, Sir, I would like to thank Sen. Moi for coming up with this Bill since it legislates on an issue which we have been grappling with, we who come from counties which are once in a while visited by these investors. In my county, we have had three oil explorations, the first one being in 1988/89 by an American oil company, Amoco, then we had Tullow Oil and Africa Oil and we now have other multinationals engaging in use of our resources like the wind and we expect solar and all that in the future. We have been struggling as locals on how to get our local content from these mega projects but there was no legislation on how we could go about that. I can remember the case of Africa Oil, where it took the communities to block the roads and demonstrate for them to come and listen to the communities so that they could develop this kind of an agreement on what the community could supply. If there was this kind of legislation, then this would not have happened because as the Bill indicates, the company would have even submitted to the local content development committee what their local content will be before they go out and do the actual extraction.
