(Ms.) Abdalla","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":382,"legal_name":"Amina Ali Abdalla","slug":"amina-abdalla"},"content":"Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT clause 58 be amended in sub-clause (3) by deleting – (a) paragraph (c) and substituting therefor the following new paragraph─ (c) the applicant has submitted an environmental rehabilitation and restoration plan” (b) the word “proposal” appearing in paragraph (d) and substituting therefor with the words, “local product plan” ; (c) the word “proposal” and substituting therefor the words, “employment product plan” in paragraph (e). Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the first amendment is on (c) and it is in relation to a prospecting licence. To expect a full Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) on a prospecting licence, I would be expecting a lot. So, we are proposing a new sub-clause (c) that reads thus: “the applicant has submitted an environmental rehabilitation and restoration plan.” On (b), we are removing the word “plan”. There is no need for them to submit a plan. All they need to submit is a proposal on how they are going to buy local products and under (c) a proposal on employment of locals. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, that is the gist of our amendment."}
