    "content": "products are immediate to the communities lying within areas where natural products are found. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we know that over the years and ages, the conflict over natural resources has brought about wars and conflicts all over the world. I do hope that in this country the exploitation of natural resources will not be a point of contention and source of conflict. I am sure that this Bill will address some of those things. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, one of the natural resources that are at the point of possible conflict in this area is our rivers. Most of our rivers in this country form boundaries within communities which seek to exploit resources. One of the resources, of course, is the waters in the rivers. We are moving into irrigation farming in this country and water will be more valuable than any other time before. Therefore, there is real possibility that even the sharing of water in this country is going to be one of the sources of conflict that we must contain in the regulations that we bring about as a way of sharing these natural resources. I really want to compliment the Mover of this Bill. I do hope that over the years, as we work on exploiting more resources, we shall also continue to refine the rules and regulations that accompany these things. We should build on the experiences that we have now, especially on the very thorny issue of corruption within the institutions that are very productive in our country. I support this Bill because it touches on a new territory. The exploitation of natural resources in this country has completely come at the right time. Therefore, we should support this Bill and allow this country to use the natural resources that it has to build national cohesion. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to support."
