    "content": "There are many multiple issues that need to be looked at including what has been mentioned on the disease in Lambwe Valley. We have people struggling with the issue of tsetse flies. Enough money has not been put in that regard. There is also the issue of new areas that need to be protected. We have islands that are not protected such as Mbasa and Muholo that have over 500 bird species that the Government has not protected. These islands can draw in many tourists and infrastructure in areas like my constituency. I had a lot to say, but because I do not have the time, I want to conclude by saying that the other thing that I find lacking in this Sessional Paper is gender mainstreaming. For instance, how some of these things are going to affect the livelihoods of women who will be stopped from using charcoal and other sources of fire that they use. So, we should have put in that as well on how young people would benefit from this. The policy is a bit weak on some of those issues. Otherwise, we can address them through legislation. I support."
