    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Pursuant to Standing Order No. 48(1), I rise to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources regarding iron ore mining in Kishushe area of Taita Taveta County. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Provide ownership details on the investors carrying out the mining activities in Kishushe area of Taita Taveta County; (2) State whether public participation was undertaken before allowing the miners on the site and table the outcome of such deliberations; (3) Confirm whether Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report certificate was issued and provide details of the mining certificate and the community development agreement; (4) Confirm whether the investor pays royalties as per the law; and, (5) State the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities that the company is undertaking in the area, if at all. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it has become fashionable for mining licences to be given by unscrupulous individuals in the Ministry of Mining to unscrupulous people who conduct mining activities without involving the public. This is one of the faceless companies. The community is asking about the miner but he or she has not spoken to the community. Therefore, the Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources should expedite the processing of this Statement so that the people of Kishushe can get what belongs to them."
