Hon. Gikaria Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I also rise to oppose the amendment for the reasons that have been given by Hon. Amina Abdalla. We need to have a culture where people are encouraged to pave way for new thinking. If we allow people to come back then Hon. Gikariaimpunity...

Hon. Gikaria Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. Maybe, the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources can clarify.
