Thank you, Hon. Speaker. In fact, this is a very serious issue especially in places like Narok where we have the Lolgorain gold mines. In the last Parliament, I was lucky enough to be part of the Committee that formulated the Mining Act and all these things were provided for. Parliament was actually informed that there are a lot of minerals found in Kenya but, unfortunately, whenever we put money into the mapping out of these areas, somehow, these efforts are always frustrated such that the Government could not map out these areas. What has happened is that, a lot ...

Further, during the scrutiny, Kenafric Industries Limited, a company adversely mentioned in the Report by the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock, appealed that they had not been accorded an opportunity to be heard. The Speaker directed this Committee to act as an appellate forum. After consideration of the matter, the Committee tabled a report recommending to the House to review its earlier decision and expunge the name of Kenafric Industries Limited from its records.

In future, any such private company which is proved to aid in such unprofessional acts should be barred from operating in the country. This is informed by the issue of Mumias Sugar Company. Innocent Kenyans were…. Give me one minute, please.
