    "content": "The reason I brought this amendment is that at the initial stages – this is what I have been saying since we started deliberating on this Bill – we are putting so much requirements and restrictions with regard to looking for minerals in this country. We thereby kill and take away morale of investors who would come in and help us discover these minerals. If you look at the Environmental Management and Co-ordination Act, No.8 of 1999 you will realize that it does not bring prospecting exploration activities under that Act. That is why I was proposing that unless there is excavation and disturbance of land, we should not deny people the opportunity just because they do not have the environmental requirements."
