• 3 Aug 2021 in Senate: We dealt with a similar issue in Kajiado County but left it at that. We visited one of the companies that makes hundreds of millions. So many cement manufacturing companies such as East African Portland Cement, Bamburi, and others are exploiting the locals in the areas that they mine. Everyone knows that cement is very expensive. It is one of the most expensive building commodities. If you ask how much the local community get, who are the custodians of the natural resource that is harvested to produce cement, you will be shocked. None of the funds go to the local ... view

• 3 Aug 2021 in Senate: The stories are not only limited to the areas of natural resource of building materials. We looked at a case in Kiambu County where the natural resource of carbon dioxide is exploited by a company called Carbacid (CO2) Limited.

• 3 Aug 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I believe that it is time to intervene. If this Bill is the thing that will bring salvation and remedy to this country and to our people, so be it.

• 3 Aug 2021 in Senate: Why would such a company hire a vessel from Canada, go with truck to load the raw material in its pure form then go to deposit it in a place in Canada where they build processing companies thus creating jobs for their people while improving their economy as well as the per capita of their country. How then can we as a country ever claim that we will grow? view
