• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairlady, if you read subclause (4) it says “Subject to subsection (2), the Cabinet Secretary shall notify the applicant in writing whether the application has been accepted or rejected.” I am saying the reasons for rejection must be given; that is the amendment I am proposing because what may happen is that the Cabinet Secretary may just write a letter telling you that your application has been rejected and that is all. I would like to know why my application has been rejected. It is my humble opinion that it shall be civil to give reasons in writing for ... view
• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Let me accept the explanation if that is what it captures, although my interpretation initially was different. But if that is captured, I am comfortable. view
• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairlady, given the explanation that has been brought forth by the Chair, my amendment stands withdrawn. view
• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I just needed a bit of clarification on these immovable or movable assets which have been depreciated to nil that the State would wish to get hold of them. How would that be effected? How would the State make sure that it gets hold of those assets out there in the mining sector? view
• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 127 be amended in sub-clause (2) be inserting the words “with the Mineral Rights Board” immediately after the word “bond”. Under Sub-Clause 2, a mineral right holder shall deposit a compensation guarantee bond. As it is, the Bill does not state where the bond will be deposited or to who. To steer clear of any uncertainty, my humble opinion is that the compensation guarantee bond should be deposited to the Mineral Rights Board. That is what I am proposing, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. view

• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairman, under Clause 127, Subsection 2, states that a mineral right holder shall deposit a compensation guarantee bond and it stops there. I am suggesting that bond should be deposited to the Mineral Rights Board. That is what I am requesting to be added. view
• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, at times we legislate and leave a lot ambiguity. The Departmental Chairlady has said that as far as she is concerned, the bonds will be placed with the National Treasury. Are we sure that, that is what happens? Are you convincing this Committee that all bonds in this country are held by the Republic? If, today, a Government organization or Ministry signs bonds, would you convince me that all those bonds are lodged with the National Treasury? Since we have already created the Mineral Rights Board, which will be responsible for executing the bond, why can ... view

• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, given that there has been consensus arising from what my colleague has just said, if my amendment was to be amended, would I then be right to amend it to read: “The Ministry that is concerned” as opposed to leaving it to the Board as has been corrected? view
