"content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I hope my time is being counted from now. First of all, I just want to concur with your assertion, that when a Statement is brought, the comments we make in a Statement cannot be dangerous in so far as to affect the outcome, but the deliberation and resolution in the Committee is what can actually be dangerous; what the Committee brings to us. When you bring comments, it can either be positive or negative comments without being fully dismissive of any Senator’s effort to raise an issue. I understand where Sen. Kihika might be coming from. I believe strongly that the ban on logging should not be lifted, but we need to look at mitigating factors. In the last Budget speech, the Cabinet Secretary of the national Treasury went a step ahead to zero-rate importation. I heard Sen. Olekina ask him that it should be zero- rated. Today, importation of timber has been zero-rated. That is good for our forest cover. Right now, the ban on logging might inconvenience a few, but the lifting of it will convenience all of us and the future of this country."
