    "content": "The Committee had several sittings to consider this. They had several meetings also with the Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning. The finding of the Committee is that the regulations which were among the many that came before the Committee comply with the law apart from two parts: Regulation 23 and Regulation 24. Regulation 23 deals with payment of royalties, rents, compensation and other payments in respect of exploration of natural resources on any particular community land. It contravenes Section 13 of the Statutory Instruments Act which requires that the regulation should not contain matters which, in the opinion of the Committee, should be properly dealt with by an Act of Parliament. It attempts to make laws or regulations that should be in an Act of Parliament. In the opinion of the Committee, the matter of royalties, rents, compensation and other payments in respect of natural resources are addressed in a better way in ministries. There are ministries that deal with natural resources, minerals, oil and gas. Therefore, it is not within the ambit of the Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning. Hence, the Committee found that Regulation 23 is an illegality."
