"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me the opportunity to support the Statement by Sen. Mwaruma. I was privileged to serve as an Assistant Minister in the Ministry of Natural Resources, Minerals and Mining from 2010 to 2011 when the late hon. John Michuki was the Minister. He played a role in coming up with the Mining Act. Sen. Mwaruma is seeking an important aspect of the Royalties Fund. At the time of coming up with the Act, we were interested in knowing who should benefit from the minerals. Our minerals have been safe for a long time. However, there has been infiltration from all corners. Taita-Taveta is one of the counties that have been infiltrated by miners from a neighbouring county because there are many precious stones there. However, we do not have a very systematic way of selling them. Brokers buy from the small miners cheaply because we do not have an organized way of selling our minerals."
