    "content": "The proposal by the Senate to change the law on which this Bill is anchored is obviously an error. Perhaps they were not keen on what was before them. I support our Committee that we cannot nullify the entire Bill because of that mistake. When the Mediation Committee is formed, these are some of the issues that need to be raised. The issue of consultation keeps on rising in the proposed amendments by the Senate. Perhaps, it is high time Parliament - both the Senate and the National Assembly - cleared the air on what consultations are. When we say that the Cabinet Secretary is going to consult with the county government, what do we mean by these consultations? If there is a disagreement, how is it going to be resolved? Sometimes when we pass these laws, these are some of the issues that we need to address. I agree that the proper terminology for the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Forestry Service should be “Chief Conservator of Forests”. It brings out the importance of the functions of this officer as against the Director-General – a term that has been used in respect of other CEOs. I support the position adopted by our Committee."
