Hon. (Dr) Robert Pukose (Endebess, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. Let me inform Hon. Dawood what a private forest means.

Hon. (Dr) Robert Pukose (Endebess, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. This is a very important amendment that has been brought by the Hon. Chairman. I link the amendment to Clause 6.
