"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I may not be able to say much about the gross earning right away. What we have â I have given a list â is the quantity and value of the mineral production for the period as was asked by Dr. Otichilo, and gold is one of them. I have shown from the year 2006 to 2009 the amounts as they are. What we have not done here because that was asked was to distinguish which was from Kakamega and what was coming from the other areas but we know that it is the sum total of gold coming from Kakamega, Vihiga, Migori and Trans Mara. If there is need for that information, we have it segregated because we were only able to put them together in this document. The other important question the hon. Member has asked is about compensation. We know that collapsing of mines is something that is international. Recently we had a case where people were buried for over a month and thank God they successfully came out. What we do not have in our law is how that protection is done. I would like to accept it and these are some of the things that we would like to add in the new law. That is why I mentioned that to us, in the Ministry of Environment and Mineral Resources and specifically the docket of mineral resources, this is our priority Bill and we shall be here very soon to ensure that all of us contribute and make sure that we protect everybody as we go into the major exploration and mining."
