    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Mining is one of the economic activities that can really change the economy of our country yet it is also one of the activities that really mess up our environment. In the last Parliament when we were doing the mining law, I had the opportunity to go for a study tour in Australia which is one of the best mining destinations and where environmental matters are taken very seriously. Our NEMA has a long way to go to be able to manage our environment, right from the way we extract building stones from our quarries, to the way we transport sand and go messing up and dropping sand particles along the road. There is so much that needs to be done. I would like to challenge NEMA to take their work seriously so that we improve on our mining activities. There is a survey which is going on to try and establish where our minerals are, so that it is easier for us to extract them. As this is going on, it is very important for NEMA to pull up its socks, so that we do not mess our environment as we try to build our economy. We must build our economy and environment in the right way."
