    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity. On equal breadth, I thank the Committee on Implementation for coming up with this incisive Report. This Report could not have come at a better time. The world has converged in Glasgow under the aegis of a Conference of the Parties 26th meeting (COP26) majorly to look at environmental issues with a view to addressing global warming and many other challenges that the impurities of the environment bring. The mandate of this Committee is to look at the implementation status of various reports from various Committees, laws that have been passed in this House, Motions that have been passed together with many other things. This is a House that never legislates or makes resolutions in vain. They have to be implemented to the letter failure to which our work in this House will be useless. This Report that was done by the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources emanated from a Petition that was brought to this House by Erdermann Limited. It has several houses under the name of Great Wall Apartments. They border LDK. And because of the discomfort emanating from LDK, they brought a Petition to this House that sent the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources to look in-depth at the issues that pertain to environmental matters. Our Committee seized this matter and carried out a comprehensive appraisal on the implementation status of the Report. I was privileged to be part of the team that visited LDK and, in equal measure, spoke with a few residents of the Great Wall Apartment. Whereas we are quick to say that they have provided jobs and using the analogy of between the hen and the egg which one came first, environmental issues are matters that can never be joked around with. We have seen cases where abortions have been perpetuated by impure environments. People have fallen ill and encountered several medical challenges courtesy of impurities in our environment. Therefore, when people have created a habitation in an area, we do not ask who came before who. It is only The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
