We have farmed and built on river beds. I am privileged to chair the Departmental Committee on Lands and Natural Resources. We have discussed this matter and I would like the Prime Minister, to kindly, clarify whether we could have a report of the task force that he saw the need to institute to look into the state of Mau Forest. We would like to have a copy of that report. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like him to know that, in accordance with the powers given to us by the Standing Orders, we shall do a comprehensive investigation of the five water towers and Mau Forest in particular. We will table the report for discussion in this House, I hope, before the end of this year."}
