    "content": "are actually living in abject poverty, yet the merchants of impunity in the name of third operators or brokers, continue making a lot of money and, in fact, even go to the extent of exporting this soapstone to other countries like in the European Union. The real people who actually mine this soapstone are still living in very sad conditions. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to also ask the Mover of the Motion to consider, perhaps, having it returned to the Committee on Agriculture, Land and Natural Resources, so that it can prepare legislation that will set a proper criteria in determining the categories of the natural resources and also look at what percentages to apportion. We may think about apportioning percentages based on concession or annual gross turnover of these corporate bodies, which continue mining these resources. The other thing that would be looked at in this legislation is the way this money will be used should we give it to them within the counties, given that we do not yet have a legislation. I would want to propose that the ancestral communities should, perhaps, be the greatest beneficiaries not just for the sake of it, but with clear categories. For example, the money should be used for issues that will help them, like medicine and especially for maternal healthcare; women and children and widows and orphans who are increasing in our country. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to support."
