Many companies have visited Lolgorian in Narok County and I think this Bill will help the community in that county to benefit from mining. I would also like to recognize the good work that was done by the Committee in proposing that we need a community development plan.

We are aware that when most of the international companies come to our country, because of the laws that exist, they normally exploit our communities. They just build a few classes and hospitals when they come and then after that they will not care even if they stay for 20 or 30 years. The community development plan will go a long way in helping the community where mining is being done.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also agree that the Cabinet Secretary has been given a lot of power. We must look at that and I agree with my colleagues who have spoken before me that our Constitution says that we must devolve power. That is why we have our county governments. The same thing should apply to mining. This is because every mining company will go to a certain county in this country. Therefore, the powers must be devolved to those communities where mining will take place. On the licensing of The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is ...

Most of these international companies spend a lot of money to come and mine in our country. I totally agree with the Committee when it says that US$500 million must come to Parliament. It is, indeed, important that Parliament which is a representative of the people must be involved whenever a company wants to mine in our country. This is in terms of making sure that the agreement is good for our country and the community where that mining will take place. Mining in our country has been exploited for a long time. It is time to bring order to ...

The other day, I saw the Cabinet Secretary cancelling licences of a mining company. You could read mischief in the cancellation of the licences because our country is one of the most corrupt countries in the world. The Cabinet Secretary cancelled the licences without investigating to find out whether that company was doing a good job or not.
