Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the Urban Areas and Cities (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No.4 of 2017). I support the Senate on this and, more so, the Chair of the Committee for coming up with this Report. They made several amendments like the one on funding by amending Section 49 and also the given timeframes. We cannot talk of a process without a time limit.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman for noticing me. I oppose the amendment. This will be a day of reckoning in this august House. The whole country is looking at how we will handle this matter. If we can sit here and preside over a process to increase the prices of very essential commodities and reduce tax on gambling and lotteries, it would be a big shame for this House.

I do not know why they do not give a budget for the same. The Cabinet Secretary in charge of the Ministry of Tourism and Wildlife should budget some money to compensate those people who have been affected by wildlife, in their ...
