    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for the opportunity that you have given me. I want to comment on the Petition by the Member of Parliament for Kesses. In this country, we have people who have traditionally, from time immemorial, lived along forests, for example, the Ogiek Community who live along forests in the Rift Valley, Western and Central regions. This community needs the protection of this House. When they go to the forests, they are not loggers and thieves; they simply go there for a simple livelihood of collecting firewood once in a while and they mostly harvest honey which they rely on for survival. I want to encourage the Public Petitions Committee that when they look at this Petition, the rights of the people of the communities that live along forests must be protected. When you look at them, they have no means of livelihood. So, when a chance to log trees is available, these communities need to be considered so that they can have a livelihood. Thank you. I support."
