    "content": "Hon. Chairlady, with regard to representatives of the communities, it is good to remind the House that one of the laws we are yet to make with regard to land matters is recognition of community land. We need to make provisions for its protection and safeguarding of the community rights. I believe, in view of that legislation which we are going to enact before the fifth year since the enactment of the new Constitution, we are going to entrench management and regulations of the rights of community land. Bringing it here does not serve anything. It is not the real legislation that should protect and safeguard community interests in land. This is legislation mainly to regulate mining process and we should not be seen to be obstructing mining legislation by bringing in community interests. If the community wants to oppose the mining process, what that entails is that we will be obstructing investment from flowing into mining but we can take care of community interests in land over mineral rights through community land laws which we are going to come up with."
