    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister talked about mining and I was keenly waiting for him to talk about coal mining in my constituency. For many years, I have been standing on the Floor of this House and appealing to the Ministry of Energy to hasten the exploitation of coal in my constituency. Currently, the Minister says the mining industry is only contributing 2 per cent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The Ministry should do more. I want to urge the Minister for Environment and Mineral Resources to collaborate with his counterpart, the Minister for Energy and assist us to mine coal in Mwingi and Kitui coal basins, which has been lying idle. This coal can be used to produce energy and for other industrial works and, therefore, improve the livelihoods of our people. With those remarks, I beg to support."
