    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, yes, we have a programme. The Ministry is guided by EMCA. In that Act, NEMA has been empowered to ensure that whatever development takes place, whether it is roads, building estates or whatever any Ministry would like to do, an environmental impact assessment (EIA) must be done. It is true that, sometimes, especially when we are talking about by-passes, you will find that the Ministry of Roads has been felling trees to create way. But we are conscious of that fact. We ensure that environmental conservation is always re-done immediately after roads are completed. That covers not only the trees, but also the waterways. That is because the disposal of water from the roadsides has been a challenge in most areas where construction is going on. So, yes, we are in touch with the Ministries and we use EMCA as our law to ensure that environmental conservation or protection is safeguarded when any development is taking place. Thank you!"
