    "content": "areas that are pastoral in nature and currently rely on livestock and trans-human form of land use, particularly in terms of mobility from one point to another. Basically, exploring the potential for other minerals, petroleum being just one of the natural resources we have. We would rather look at how these resources can be of benefit to the local people because this product is likely to change the lifestyle and livelihood of the people in that region. One significant thing is that the Bill has categorised the community’s interests and given specific percentages to the community and county. There is a specific percentage that has been given to each interest group. In the entire Bill, there is emphasis on community interests – something which was previously overlooked as this Bill was being developed. This Bill has given specific emphasis on 5 per cent to the community. However, that can be changed as we continue to amend the Bill as to what percentage goes to the community, what percentage goes to the counties and what percentage goes to the national Government. Those changes will be done as we proceed to the next stage, in terms of amendments that will be introduced in this Bill. Nonetheless, given the way the exploitation of this resource is clearly defined, and the various percentages being given, it is clear that this Bill is trying to look into the interests of everybody likely to benefit from this product."
