    "content": "it can be refined. When we get oil, we need to refine it to add value to it. If we get titanium and other products, we need to have the resources, expertise and machinery so that we can add value to it. That will bolster our foreign exchange earnings. The policy also gives the Ministry powers to guard the local people from exploitation by miners. When Hon. Gikaria was seconding the Motion, he said that sometimes the locals do not know what happens. They just see people come with machinery and start digging the ground, picking materials from the soils and going away with samples. The county governments and the people who live in those particular areas should be involved. They should be aware of what is happening and what their stake is so that once that product is found; they can get their rightful share. That is what we passed during the 11th Parliament. That is how exploitation comes about. Middle men come in and become brokers, leaving the people who should benefit more from the mineral destitute. The implements we use for mining are outdated. We need to have the correct implements. Therefore, in our budgets, in accordance with this policy, we need to cater for all these and ensure that once a certain process has started, it is completed."
