(a) whether he could provide information on the minerals found in Kenya, indicating Fe bruary 10, 2009 PARLIAMENTAR Y DEBATES

10 Feb 2009 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Question is a wake up call for this Ministry. This country has a lot of resources and this Ministry has specifically been mandated to find ways and means of exploiting mineral resources. The Assistant Minister has just given us a list of the minerals and the conferences they have attended. Kenyans are dying of hunger because some Ministries, like this one, are not doing what they are supposed to do. Could the Assistant Minister, other than the issue of policy documents, undertake to immediately organise an investor conference on minerals so that the investors can ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in some instances, special prospecting licences have been issued to some companies and they have gone ahead to mine through the backdoor in large quantities. Could the Assistant Minister undertake to review those special prospecting licences and ensure that they do not breach the law by engaging in excessive mining?

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This is a very important matter. I know that there is the substantive Business of the House, but maybe, you could allow, at least, two clarifications.

I appreciate the Assistant Minister's response in the Ministerial Statement, having, perhaps, identified the key areas in which this matter will affect the Kenyan economy.

I am a bit concerned by the casual manner in which this matter has been taken, particularly because of the expected round two effects, in view of the fact that already, in the tourism sector, bookings are declining rapidly. With the kind of complicated inflation, because of oil and the rest of the issues, that is already there, Kenyans are expected to be hit very hard.

10 Feb 2009 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my clarification is whether the Minister has put in place a team to closely monitor this matter on a daily basis, as they are very busy on other issues.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is quite clear that in the past, a lot of injustice has been done by the Executive on those treaties because they were never brought to Parliament. In that way, the Executive has committed Kenyans without making them know exactly what they have committed them to. It is good that the new Constitution came into place. It is forcing the Executive to bring those matters here. In view of the fact that the Ministry has been lagging behind in disseminating that information to Kenyans--- I want to say that when you look at the African Charter ...

What is the Ministry doing to ensure that, that information is disseminated to Parliament and Kenyans without further ado?
