    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I thank you for the opportunity to also contribute to this Petition, which I support. Environmental issues with the current climate change are tremendously affecting us. Do we need other institutions to be put up when we have the National Environmental Management Authority (NEMA)? Why not strengthen NEMA to ensure they do their work properly for the benefit of the country? What NEMA is doing is very dissatisfying. There are a lot of problems. In my constituency, there is a lot of mining, rock and stone cutting. A lot happens after people have excavated, but NEMA does nothing about it yet they know the dangers. People die in pits when it rains. I think they need to come strong and protect this country from investors whose interest is to make profit, without taking care of the environment after finishing with their extractions. So, I support this Petition but with the rider that we need to strengthen NEMA to do their work properly. I thank you, Hon. Speaker."
