• 9 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, indeed the provisions of the Constitution are clear on public participation. The essence of this amendment from the Senate is that once Parliament starts the process of ratification of a production sharing agreement, the public needs to be notified. If there is anybody with issues with people who will be given those agreements, they can raise them and Parliament will listen to them. I think it is a normal process of public participation undertaken by Parliament through Committees, which is quite in order. view

We also found this to be necessary. We concur and support the amendment. view

The amendment also makes it a requirement for compensation to be made within a period of four months from the date of issuance of the consent and in full to the person entitled to such compensation.
