    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to make my contribution to the request for the National Assembly to exercise its powers in the Constitution of approving degazettement of gazetted forests. If you look at the Petition and the Report, that forest was gazetted in 1932. That is way back. The total area was in excess of 91,000 hectares. This is a huge forest. Whereas I support this Motion, the justification given in the Report of the Committee for us to approve degazettement of about 4,000 hectares for proper settlement – those people are not properly settled in terms of documentation and tittles – is not a clear reason for degazetting that portion of the forest. As we support the degazettement, I expect the Committee to follow through the implementation of this exercise so that we have the correct beneficiaries benefitting from that land. In the past, we have seen forests hived off for people to be settled and The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
