    "content": "Yes. I believe Hon. Pukose was amplifying the amendment. I saw Hon. Lentoimaga nodding in agreement. I believe that is his position. On a serious note, we must allow the authority responsible for forests certain latitude to make administrative decisions without legislative pressure. I have no doubt, whatsoever, that the kind of utility or use that we are seeking to introduce through this amendment can still be achieved administratively. The moment you legislate on a matter like this one, you open a pandora’s box. We will have a floodgate of litigation. A lot of pressure will be exerted on the KFS. We know this is one Service that is already under immense pressure to raise the forest cover in this country to the acceptable global minimum of 10 per cent. We are way below the global minimum requirement. We should not bring about additional pressure to the KFS by allowing fellows who may want to train militias in forests to freely roam there. With a lot of respect to Hon. Lentoimaga, a man whom I have a lot of respect for, I oppose this amendment."
