The Senate Thursday passed the controversial PIB after very heated argument, debate and plea on the percentage for the host communities, just as the lawmakers approved three percent (three per cent) of the actual annual operating expenditure of the preceding financial year in the upstream petroleum operations affecting the host communities for funding of the Host Communities Trust Fund. It said that this will ensure adequate development of the host communities and reduction in the cost of production. The three percent approved was short by two per cent as against the five per cent recommended by the Committee. GUYS, WHAT DO YOU THINK? .. ................... LINKS YOU MIGHT LIKE.
