"content": "On Clause 44, it is important to know that there are people who are affected in the forest. Communities that have lived there for a long time have taken that area as their home. We have several gazetted forests in Samburu North, Nyiro, Lerroki Plateau and Ndooto. Kenyans have been there since time immemorial. Some of us were born there. We attach a lot of our lives to the forest to the extent that even customary rites are performed there. We also have specific important trees. So, in the event the Government comes to do some activities like varying the forest, these communities must be recognised and listened to. They must also participate in any kind of activities that the Government wants to perform. So, this amendment entails consideration of these communities as part and parcel of that area because they do not have any other place they call home except those areas."
