Thank you hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I can say that in terms of mining, as a country, we have been wandering around blindly because we do not know where our minerals are. Moreover, we do not have a proper legal framework to guide us. Today, after nine months; the amount of time that a child takes to be born, we have come up with a new law.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the hon. Member created an impression that the hon. Members were sponsored by another party and that is the position that I wanted to clear. Otherwise, she will be presenting a wrong impression to the nation.
