    "content": "The IGF guidance, documents for governments on managing artisanal and small- scale mining released in 2017, local contents policy released in 2018 and base erosion and profit sharing depths currently being developed are important tools in the mining sector. The guidance documents on managing mining for sustainable development, a source book and extracting good practices, a guide for governments and partners to integrate environment and human rights into the governance and the mining sector are important newly launched publications in the mining sector. Madam Temporary Speaker, community engagement in the mining cycle is important so as to build capacity within communities and in order to create synergy and community participation in all mining activities. Although mine closure is provided for in Kenya’s Mining Act, the subject needs strict regulations. The enforcement by incorporating concepts from guidance documents on mine closure and endorsement of mine closure provisions. Historic geological data provides a good tool during mining through identification of minerals. Tax incentives for mining companies have been used in other jurisdictions for companies that adopt forest smart approaches in their mining. Innovation has been used in other jurisdictions during mining. This has had both positive effects and loss of employment. The IGF reviewed training of transfer pricing risk assessment for mining, was forthcoming in Kenya. Madam Temporary Speaker, it is important for Government to think of how to exploit the mineral deposits in Kenya today. Perhaps, it would be cheaper to give us a better economy than most of the other things that we are engaged in, in this country. There are some countries in Europe which depend wholly on mining. Since we have big deposits of various minerals in Kenya, it is incumbent upon Government to ensure that this is exploited and will bring up the standards of living of Kenyans. I beg to move."
