    "content": "Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 40 of the Bill be amended by deleting sub clause (1) and substituting therefor the following new sub clause – (1) The Cabinet Secretary may submit a request under section 107 of the Land Act for the compulsory acquisition of land or rights or interests in land, to vest the land or area in question, or rights or interests in such land or area, in the Government or on behalf of the Government, where the consent required under sections 36, 37or 38 is─ (a) unreasonably withheld; or (b) the Cabinet Secretary considers that withholding of consent is contrary to the national interest. The import of this amendment is that the first draft that we got from the National Assembly purported to give powers to the Cabinet Secretary for Mining to deal with compulsory land acquisition which definitely would contravene other existing laws. We had to remove that."
