    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I thank Sen. Mwaruma. I happen to be a Member of that Committee, and I know that we have received several queries on issues of mining. From that our colleagues have said in this House today, it is very clear that that what is lacking in this country is a mining policy. As a Committee, we are going to look at what has been raised here and perhaps push the Government to come up with a proper mining policy which involves the locals. This is because what we have now favours investors who come from wherever, and locals do not even know what is happening. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as we do that, I do not know how, as a Committee, we are going to address the issues raised by Sen. Cherargei about the young men who cannot “function”. As a Committee, I do not think we have that capacity; so, my friend, Sen. Cherargei, will bear with us. However, we will look at the policy and what requires to be done to involve locals on issues of mining."
