    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, when we rise to support a Statement, I do not think there is any standing order that bars us from seeking clarifications. As I said, we do not allow hunting in this country and that is why we want to know the measures KWS has put in place to mitigate against this unsustainable hunting practices. It will even be difficult for the Committee to interrogate this matter conclusively if we do not seek our clarifications. I do not know if hunting of wildlife is allowed in this country. As far as I am concerned, hunting is illegal. There is no single legislation in this country that has legalized hunting. So, when I seek clarification, I do not think I am giving solution, but I want us to be clear. One of the biggest problems` with the Statement in this House is that we do not get feedback. For example, this matter will be directed to the Ministry of Tourism, which I believe KWS is domiciled, but we might not get feedback. I had a Motion here on how we can increase tourism revenue in terms of cultural value in this country, but we did not get feedback on its implementation. It is imperative we get feedback to our Statements. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I support this Statement, I also want us to take our own responsibility on this issue. I hope when the Committee will be looking into this Statement, it will go a little bit further and come up with measures that will help us have a solution to this problem. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
