    "content": " Thank you. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a)Yes, the Government has a policy on sensitization of citizens when major projects are undertaken throughout the country. I mean major projects in terms of roads. (b)My Ministry plays a supervisory role, in collaboration with the Contractors, in conducting sensitization programmes on environmental and social impact on the communities living next to the superhighways. This includes posting posters in project sites, holding public meetings with the affected parties and communities, making radio announcements with a nationwide coverage in consultation with the NEMA. We also ensure a qualified coordinator is appointed to receive both oral and written comments from members of the public. (c) Currently there is no legal provision on the percentage of the cost of projects which investors are to use in undertaking sensitization of residents."
