    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I will not take more than the two minutes you have given me and I am not going to belabour my reasons for supporting this very appropriate amendments. I just want to draw our attention to Section 9 of the National Environmental Management Authority Act, No. 8 of 1999, which is also proposed to be amended. If you read the extensive mandate given to this Authority, it states:- “The object and purpose for which the Authority as established is to exercise general supervision and coordination over all matters relating to the environment and to be the principal instrument of Government in the implementation of all policies relating to the environment”. Just bearing that in mind, you find that these proposed amendments are very relevant because they are making specific references to how this Authority is supposed to execute its mandate in relation to the various amendments that are proposed here, which now give very good terms and references to other provisions that were, otherwise, ambiguous. With those few remarks, I think I have exhausted my two minutes. I support."
