    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the other thing that I am wondering about is extension services of the Ministry. Maybe I did not read the budget well but if the Minister can highlight our extension services--- We know there is a difference between the district forest officer and the district environmental officer because they do not deal with the same issues. What are our environmental officers doing currently in the various sectors and what are they addressing? Maybe we have a problem of policy and we need to start addressing the policy issue. I hear that the Ministry of Agriculture has adopted something called demand driven. I hope the Ministry of Environment and Mineral Resources has not adopted the same because the environment is something that is not easily seen by those who are messing it up. So, unless we have a very strong environmental network, nobody knows when they are degrading the environment or alleviating it. So, there is need for a strong environmental network, but that part of the budget is not there I would really wish that we strengthen that aspect and support the Ministry to have a very strong environmental extension unit so that people can be sensitized. We did not create plastics, we ended up using them because we thought they were the easiest ways of doing things but we do not know what to do with them after we are through with them."
