    "content": "Thank you hon. Speaker. I rise pursuant to Standing Order 44(2)(c) to request for a Statement from the chairpersons of two Departmental Committees namely Finance, Planning and Trade and Environment and Natural Resources regarding the mining of gold in Kenya. There are two gold mines in the country namely Karebe Gold Mining Limited in Nyatike and Kilimapesa Gold Limited in Lolgorian. The amount of gold produced by those two companies is approximately 50 kilogrammes per year. However, two private companies Sky Hawk International Limited and Ushindi Exports Limited are allegedly exporting 1,200 kilogrammes of gold per month out of the country. Further, according to available documents, those two companies purport to be exporting gold to the United Arab Emirates. In their Statements, the chairpersons of the two committees should report to the House on the total amount of gold exported by Ushindi Exports Limited and Sky Hawk International Limited per year. They should indicate the supply and source of gold of those companies from 2005 to now, with receipts showing where they were bought and sold. Two, the companies in the United Arab Emirates that Sky Hawk International Limited and Ushindi Exports Limited trade with, three, the amount of duty and tax paid by Ushindi Exports and Sky Hawk International to KRA from 2005 to date, including the date of last returns made by both companies as required by law. Four, the reason for those two companies exporting gold and transacting in cash instead of transferring funds through banks as it is the norm for any exports proceeds. Five, why the two companies are not using the official monetary instruments declaration The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
