    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to comment on this very important Petition. I happened to have lived around that vicinity early in the 1990s. I am very familiar with what has been happening there. It is clear under the law there are methods which are used by anyone to acquire a piece of land. From the information given in the Petition, it seems that some procedures were followed. Even notices were given. This is not the only forest which has been affected in one way or the other. We have to be careful that a wrong precedent is not set in the country - the precedent of dealing with situations of this nature. The same Ministry at one point had an issue with houses along the Western Bypass. Hon. Speaker, a meeting was held, issues were resolved, and the houses were not demolished. I want to urge that using that particular precedent, while Parliament is looking at this matter, there must be a reconciliatory meeting to reconcile all issues. This being Government land, a solution should be found. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
