    "content": "Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 4 of the Bill be amended – (a) by deleting the definition of the word “community” and substituting therefor the following new definition – “community” means a people living in a ward or wards within which minerals are situated and who are affected by the exploration of the minerals or mining operations with respect to the minerals; (b) by inserting the following new definition immediately after the definition of the word “corporation” – “Council of County Governors” means the Council of County Governors established under section 19 of the Intergovernmental Relations Act; (c) by deleting the definition of the word “strategic minerals” and substituting therefor the following new definition – “strategic minerals” means minerals declared as such by the Cabinet Secretary with the approval of the Cabinet and by notice in the Gazette ; Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, there are three reasons for this amendment. One is to define what we mean by community because it was not defined. Community could traverse beyond a county or a ward. So, we had to come up with a definition of the affected wards. Since we introduced the issue of the Council of Governors (CoG), we had to define what we mean by the CoG which is a standard definition. Finally, on the strategic minerals, we found that the definition was not befitting because it was generalized and specific only to a few minerals. We had to come up with a definition which must be gazetted after the President decides on the strategic minerals."
