    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to start with the issue of Galana-Kulalu. This is a project that we had issues with from the word go. In fact, at its inception, we were skeptical about the practicality of that project succeeding. At that time, I remember Hon. Pukose and others were very supportive of the project. How times change. This is also good. We learn. Now we are where we are. If that project will not continue, there is no way that the Government can talk of giving out land to individuals. We know the history of giving out Government land to individuals in this country has never favoured the people it should. It is given to people who will be absentee landlords, who will keep it for speculative purposes and will not even grow anything. Therefore, I fully support this Petition. The Committee needs to look into this matter so that people from the Coast Region, who have been traditionally marginalised over the years, do not continue to lose land that rightfully belongs to them by the Government pretending that the land is being given out for some economic activity."
