• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this particular Bill has brought in the issue of royalties for all those people who live in mineral rich areas.

• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this Bill also seeks to save Kenya from falling into pitfalls that other countries in Africa, and, indeed, the world, have fallen into, as a result of discovering many minerals. By this I mean they have faced environmental degradation and political, economic and social instability of every kind. This Bill ideally has brought up a situation which is going to result in some sort of sanity in this particular sector. view

• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would also like to say that mining is going to be done after rehabilitation of our land. That is very important and is what this Bill provides; more importantly this Bill is in line with Vision 2030. It provides the legal framework that is going to take care of investors and local beneficiaries of this lucrative sector. view
