Allowing the Council of Governors (CoGs) to participate in identifying a Member to that board is a very critical inclusion. This is because we now appreciate that governors will continue to play a critical role in the management of these important resources. I also thank him for the addition of Clause 3(a) which, amongst other things, you have now provided sub-clauses that will ensure that he people who are appointed are people of high integrity. This is important because a big number of abusers of forests have been the foresters themselves, forest askaris and sections of the defunct provincial administration. I beg to support."}
