    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to congratulate this Committee for doing a very good job. They deal with a very tedious and cumbersome area. These are matters to do with land. You heard the Chairman talk about people being eaten by crocodiles, sometimes you wonder where the people who run KWS went to school. Simple logic would determine that if you put a mass of water in a place, you are introducing a new ecosystem. Therefore, this ecosystem must have food. Since this is an artificial dam, it is a natural ecosystem. The fact that these people over the years have decided that the ecosystem and the food chain includes human beings and their livestock, it is a scandal that we will live with but it should go on record that this Tenth Parliament has put it straight into their face that if they want to maintain crocodiles and other animals in those dams, then they must look at the food chain in that particular area and that food chain cannot have human beings as food for crocodiles. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank all my Members of the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Co-operatives for having conducted about 270 meetings, published about 18 reports and still going and looking forward to joining you again as our Speaker in the Eleventh Parliament."
