• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: (ii)the words, “on recommendation of the Mineral Rights Board” immediately after the word, “Secretary”; (c) in sub-clause (5) by inserting the word, “Secretary” immediately after the word “Cabinet”. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, we are adding the word ‘mortgage’ because some of these mineral rights holders would want to mortgage their rights, and that had been excluded. The other amendment is to appreciate that the Cabinet Secretary can only act on the recommendation of the Mineral Rights Board. The final amendment is to make it specific that it is not the Cabinet but the Cabinet Secretary. view

• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 54 be amended by deleting sub-clause (2). Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, this is an important amendment. The small- scale miners felt that if we were to use technical and financial reasons as the basis for judging those who apply at the same time, there would be undue advantage to international investors who definitely have more technical and financial capacity. In fact, the stakeholders called this ‘the Chinese clause’. view
