    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Land and Natural Resources relating to the destruction of indigenous trees for charcoal burning in the North Rift region; West Pokot, Turkana, Baringo and Elgeyo-Marakwet counties. In the statement, I request the Chairperson to:- 1. State whether he is aware that there is a new trade that has replaced cattle rustling in the North Rift, along Kerio River, particularly in Kolowa Ward, neighbouring Tot in Marakwet and Chesegon in West Pokot in the form of destruction of indigenous trees for charcoal burning; and that this is facilitated by senior national and county government officials. 2. Explain what the relevant Government agency is doing to stop this dangerous activity in the region and in other areas throughout the country where such activities are being undertaken, given that recently, the Government wiped out illicit brews, drug barons and cattle rustling. This is a new phenomenon that will interfere with our ecosystem. It will interfere with our ecosystem and environment."
