• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I stand guided. The Bill clearly states that mineral rights in this country belong to the national Government; this is very clear and is stated in our Constitution as well. Also the same law does consider equity in sharing of resources between different levels of government as well as communities; this is clearly stated and provided for within this new Bill. One major flaw in this Bill is too much powers; we are trying to invest in an individual in the name of Cabinet Secretary. It is not healthy for any nation; it is open to ... view

• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: We should also provide safeguards for large scale miners in this country, and ensure that the necessary services that they need in terms of capital, training, capacity building are provided to them, so that they can participate effectively in this sector.
