"content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as a Committee we considered this amendment and rejected it. This proposal is unconstitutional. This is because Article 62(1)(f) and 62 (3) of our Constitution classify minerals as public land which vests on the national Government. The national Government decides to create a national mining corporation to participate in mining and mineral activities as it is in other nations such as Namibia, Democratic Republic of Congo and South Africa, among others. It is important for the corporation to be equipped properly with assets to enable it carry out its functions. On this basis, we rejected that amendment. In conclusion, we approved the Senate amendments to Clauses 4(b), 5, 9, 20, 21, 30, 38, 41, 46, 50, 51, 53(a), 67, 77, 106, 117, and 120. We rejected quite a few which include Clauses 4(a), 4(c), 7, 16, 33, 34, 37, 40, 49, 51, 53(b), and 149. I beg to move and would like to ask Hon. Barua, who is a member of the Committee, to second the Motion."
