• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairlady, people are given vast areas for prospecting. Therefore, before you do mining you can find out whether there is something on the land. You do not have to compulsorily acquire that land, yet it does not have resources. That is why we are just asking for consent until you narrow down to the specific area where you want to mine, then the issue of compulsory acquisition comes in. Thank you. view
• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank Chairlady for the opportunity. I beg to move:- THAT, clause 36 be amended by deleting the words “mineral right” wherever they appears and substituting therefor the words “prospecting and mining rights”. This is the same rationale, that mineral rights include reconnaissance rights. They would not require consent. Therefore, we are replacing the words “mineral right” with “prospecting and mining rights”. view
• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairlady, we discussed this amendment and we proposed to oppose it.

• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairlady, I want to urge hon. Members to appreciate that the amendment by hon. Mwaita states “registered group representatives of the community”. Let us give an example of community land under group ranches. You can have group ranch “x” but there is a group of people who are members of that group ranch that are registered as a community based organisation or as a self-help group. Would you be dealing with the owners of this group ranch who have some legitimacy in ownership or will you be dealing with the self-help group? So, the import of hon. Mwaita’s amendment ... view
• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, clause 39 be amended by deleting the word “may” wherever it appears and substituting therefor the word “shall”. Once an area is designated for large scale mining, we are making it mandatory that the provision of licences should be done through tendering. view

• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT Clause 40 be amended in sub-clause (1)(g) by- (a) deleting the word “licences” and substituting therefor the word “blocks”; and (b) inserting the words, “or company” immediately after the word, “person”. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the first one is that you could have a licence with a very big block, or you could have many licences, but the blocks are fewer. So, we want to deal with limiting the number of blocks because that is the actual land mass that will be involved. The second one is just to appreciate that ... view
