Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Minister has taken the long way around to answer the question. I am quite aware of the reasons for it and I don't object to that. But the ban formerly was for the hunting of big game. We are talking about other game and the use of different types of guns. Shotguns that are not as dangerous at long range as would be a rifle. I can fully understand and appreciate the concerns that people have. But I want to know who the Minister's officials spoke to. Did they go to the people in Dettah and Ndilo about this regulation that would very seriously affect their hunting rights to harvest along that highway in season? Was there any consultation done?
