    "content": "It is good that the Bill says that its purpose is to come up with maximization of value addition and creation of employment for the locals, use of local resources, expertise, and all that. That, in itself, will develop the skills of the locals in the extractive industry. They will get employment directly and have a priority in terms of provision of services. I know of a case where a company was exploration for oil in Laisamis Town, but they were buying food from a supermarket in Nairobi. These were things which the locals could have provided to them. Therefore, if there was a regulation like this, then the locals would have benefited. In terms of skills transfer, if we know what skills these companies require, we will then also establish the relevant courses in our institutions. We do not just have to train for the sake of it, just for people to get degrees or diplomas; but we will be addressing a particular gap in the requirement of skills in that sector."
