"content": "We can talk in camera and share with him some findings. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are not against investors; we welcome them. However, they must respect the people who give them the opportunity to exploit their resources. Most of the mining companies in this Republic do not have CDAs according to The Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Amendment Act, 2015. They have not adhered to the law as provided for in the Mining Act. Therefore, I support Sen. Mwaruma in that people who exploit our resources must be held accountable. There is a Petition that I presented with similar sentiments. Therefore, the Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources must expeditiously deal with this Statement of the great people where Sen. Mwaruma represents and from Nandi County in Chemilil-Chemase area so that people can continue to enjoy. The resources that we have should not become a curse. However, at the moment, they have become a curse because investors are now fighting with the people, sponsoring bribery allegations and many other things. Therefore, I hope that this matter will be dealt with."
