    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, as a Committee, we really felt that we have enough battles with the Senate and that this is a trivial one. It just concerns what the word “Parliament” means. It means both Houses. On this, we decided to let it go. Moreover, we have two levels of government. The spirit and letter of the Constitution is that they should cooperate and work in harmony. Mineral rights and mining is done in counties. It is not done in space. It is done in community or public land within counties. The Constitution provides that if any development plans are to be approved in those lands, whether it is community or public lands, it must be approved by county governments. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, we will just bring acrimony and stop investment for no reason. On that ground, we really felt that this is a very minor thing and we should not have a battle over it."
