• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance to contribute to this Bill. First, I would like to thank the Committee for coming up with this important Bill but there are issues which need to be clear. One is that of the royalties.

Temporary Deputy Speaker, the other issue is that of employment. It does not come out clearly here. All these minerals are found in areas which were marginalised by all the previous regimes. In Turkana East which I represent and ... view
