    "content": "(5) Where the application is approved, the applicant shall by notice in writing accept or reject the offer for grant of the mineral right within twenty-one days from the date of receipt of notification of the approval. (6) Where the applicant does not notify the Cabinet Secretary of the acceptance of the offer, the approval of the application shall lapse after twenty-one days. (7) Where the Cabinet Secretary has rejected an application, the affected applicant may apply to the Cabinet secretary for the review of the decision. (8) The Cabinet Secretary shall within thirty days communicate with the applicant on the decision in relation to the review. (10) An applicant who is aggrieved by the decision of the Cabinet Secretary may appeal to the High Court within thirty days. The first one is on the marginal note. This section will only apply to large scale mining. The other amendments on part (b) and the rest are intended to clean up and increase transparency of issuing licences. We are talking of the Cabinet Secretary, on recommendation, being able to have a timely way of issuing licences. We are saying for reconnaissance and prospecting licences, they should be given 90 days and mining licences should be given in 120 days. We are incorporating the issue of community participation in the process. So, it is an amendment that is intended to bring about more transparency and accountability in terms of time."
