    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the reason why Kenya went for devolution was not just sharing of political power. We are now talking a lot about sharing of political power and so on, but we do not hear so much about sharing of resources. In fact, in that report, there is a lot of input about sharing of resources including these types of resources. We are more focused on politics and the political power but when it comes to the things that really matter like resources, we do not concentrate. I thank Sen. Mwaruma for bringing this particular Statement because several Senators here, including Sen. (Dr.) Zani, have brought legislation or Bills to put into effect the objectives in terms of sharing resources and creating a Royalty Fund and an account to that effect, so that there is equitable sharing of mining resources. Unfortunately, this is coming at the tail end of this sitting and session, but I hope that we will not go to sleep on it. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
