    "content": "Hon. Speaker, secondly, the national Government, through the Mining Act, has decided to form a national cooperation which would be participating in mining and would need these equipment. So, the first right of refusal should be given to the national Government. This is very important because we tend to be faced with these recommendations from the Senate about giving things to counties and yet the Constitution is very clear on ownership. So, those are the mediated versions. I would like to take this opportunity to thank your office and colleagues in the Senate who seem to always come up with amicable ways forward on mediated versions of all the Bills. I request the Parliamentary secretariat to look at some of the things that have been put in this Bill. This is because some of them need to be adopted under the Petroleum (Exploration, Development and Production) Bill which in my opinion may not have received as much technical input from the technical people who had come to work with us both the Commission for the Implementation of the Constitution (CIC) and other civil society organisations. To get players from the sector to give you information without more balanced views will not benefit. So, I urge the secretariat that is working with the Departmental Committee on Energy, Communication and Information to look at some of the things that will eventually come up in this Mining Bill because both of them are in the extractive sector. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
