Speaker, I rise to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Environment and Forestry the following Question: (i) What is the Government’s policy with respect to planting of Eucalyptus species of trees commonly referred as Blue Gum along river banks and water catchment areas, a common practice in the eastern region of the country, particularly in Central Imenti Constituency? (ii) What measures has the Ministry taken to prohibit the planting of Eucalyptus species of trees along river banks and water catchment areas, considering their pernicious effects to springs, rivers, and streams which leads to reduction of water volumes resulting to among other concerns, intercommunity conflicts over the scarce resource? (iii) What steps is the Ministry taking to ensure that the said trees planted along the banks of Kathita and Mawara Rivers in Central Imenti Constituency and other water catchment areas across the country are removed to avert perennial shortage of water in the said areas?"
