    "content": "As you are aware, debate on this Motion had been concluded and all that remained was putting of the Question. However, concerns were raised by Members regarding the difficulties that could be experienced by the relevant Government institutions in implementing the recommendations as currently contained in the Report. In this regard, conscious that the House does not act in vain, I have since perused the Report and confirmed that there is need for the House to amend the recommendations so as to align it with our Standing Orders and the Forest Conservation and Management Act of 2016. I have also received proposed amendments from a Member of the Departmental Committee on Lands addressing this concern. A notice of the proposed amendments is in the Order Paper for your reference. I, therefore, wish to invoke the provisions of Standing Order No.1 to allow for the amendment to be moved to the Report’s recommendations. I wish to clarify that debate will only be reopened for purposes of addressing the concerns raised, and will not be fresh debate on the rest of the Report. Once the House concludes with the proposed amendment, I shall proceed to put the Question on the Motion. I also urge all Committees to be vigilant and ensure that their proceedings stay within the requirements of Standing Orders and the relevant laws. I thank you, Hon. Members."
