    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I sit in the Standing Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources, I think with you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. The work is a lot. What the Senators are saying is true. However, we are up to the task. Our Chairperson has been very robust at it. Yes, we have encountered many challenges because most of our meetings have a lot of documentation, but we managed even during COVID-19 pandemic by using the online meetings. Now we are up to speed, we are managing, and we even have our petitioners being able to login from some very remote places and are able to prosecute their cases. We, as a Committee, realising the number of Petitions we have to deal with, we have managed to sort of put them together and prosecute them at once. Sometimes our meetings are very long. We sit even up to six hours to prosecute several petitions that are of similar nature where we get all the stakeholders together, whether it is the Ministry of Lands together with the NLC or with the Ministry of Environment. We get them all together then we prosecute several petitions at the same time. I am happy that we have tabled quite a number of reports. I think what is now most outstanding is the implementation part of it. However, we are now hearing about the Standing Order and that is something that as a Committee we can pick on when it comes to implementation of those reports. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
