    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I stand to reply. I would like to start by thanking all Senators for their contributions, insights and the information that they have shared so willingly with this Committee. They have debated on this report; indeed, right from the time it was a Motion in this House up to this time when we have a report of the Committee. We hope and project that we will be debating this as a Bill in this House. Let me start by thanking all the Senators. On behalf of the Committee, I would like to say that we value the input that has been given to us, the insights and suggestions that have come forward. Indeed, we also tried to ensure that we had participation at various stages and involved various stakeholders. It is in the light of this participation that we hope to come up with a Bill and, indeed, later an Act of Parliament that will be effective in managing natural resources in this country. This has been an area with a large gap. As much as that gap has been recognized, efforts to fill it have been put in place but in a fragmented manner. Therefore, the efforts we are putting forward, as a Senate, in trying to come up with a law that will ensure that the management and control of natural resources can be carried out effectively by the whole country is very critical for us. I would like to thank the Members of this Committee; 17 Senators in total, for their commitment, right from the beginning. I think it was very easy for me as the Chairperson to chair the Committee. The Committee had Members who were very dedicated and quick in responding. They accompanied me in the various trips that we made. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
