    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I would like to thank Sen. Halake for the Report from the Committee on Information and Technology. I have one issue which I think is very key and important. This has to do with a situation whereby we are coming up with Bills in the parliamentary system; whether it is from Senate or National Assembly, and at the same time the Ministry is also processing something. I want to commend this Committee, that they just proceeded with the Bill because the timelines of the Bills are not determinant on any other factors. You might be originating a Bill, and somebody else is doing the same. You just proceed with what comes your way. Sometimes I think that, that can be used as a stalling process. This also includes the component of Ministries later on taking up components of Bills. For instance, Members of the National Assembly have taken up components of the Natural Resources Benefits Sharing Bill, which I moved in both the Eleventh and Twelfth Parliaments, and incorporated it into their Mining Bill. Similarly, I have just seen on 411 that the Ministry of Mining is planning to come up with a Mining and Sovereign Wealth Fund without the audacity to even acknowledge the source and where the whole argument of the Sovereign Wealth Fund started. It started with The Natural Resources Benefits Sharing Bill, which has not even yet progressed to the National Assembly and succeeded to move towards becoming an Act."
