    "content": "should also be regulations that any person who undertakes this mining must follow the safety precautions required for any construction site. Hon. Temporary Speaker, we also know that our Government is losing revenue. This is a hard time that we do not have enough revenue in this country. Even at NG-CDF, we do not have money because of the hard economic times. When we have resources like gold that are being smuggled, the Government does not benefit. The local government is also not benefiting. The land is being degraded because when they dig tunnels underground, the soil becomes weaker and the soil topography is interfered with. There are too many things that are lined up that we need to control. As a House, this is the most important time to have this in control because where there is no regulation, there is disorder. Indeed, there is a lot of disorder in gold mining in this country leading to death and poverty, which we as legislators, are under duty to control. I thank Hon. Shinali and the Committee for bringing this Bill. I support it."
