    "content": "fruits are grown along the road. I wish to support the Motion. My wish is that each and every part of the road reserve gets trees planted on it. Trees are wind breakers especially in arid and semi-arid lands. At times you find that we are faced with the challenge of flooding or strong winds blowing along the all-weather roads which are not developed. It will be good if we can have these trees. As much as we would want people to conserve the environment, we should know that so many people are still dependent on firewood as a means of cooking. It is a good initiative because they cut down those trees for lack of an alternative. They destroy them for firewood. It is good for the Government to encourage our people to plant more trees so that as people cut down and destroy a few of them, we have more trees being planted to replace the cut ones. We should also do that as an example to the young generation to show that the Government is encouraging people to plant trees, and not just telling individuals and private persons to do so. The Government should lead by example by allowing the bare land that is theirs to be used for tree planting. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
