    "content": "As part of peace building efforts, there have been consultations between area residents and owners of Laikipia Nature Conservancy to clear all the trees and bushes at the edge of the conservancy so as to aid visibility in flashing out the bandits. A clearance of about 500 metres inside the conservancy will also aid in the security operation in the area. The owners have agreed to the task. However, the challenge is that the Ministry of Environment and Forestry has out-lawed the cutting of trees and subsequent charcoal burning in the area. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I call upon the Ministry to give a special consideration and lift the ban temporarily so as to allow the clearance which will enhance security in the volatile area. I urge that pursuant to Standing Order No.43(3), you refer this matter to the Standing Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources to intervene and get a special consideration from the Ministry to allow residents to clear the bush and burn charcoal to enhance visibility in security operations in the county. I thank you."
