This is a very good Motion because we are saying that we need to plant trees along the road reserves after construction has been done. It will be good if the designers capture that. When you look at forest cover in Kenya, we are talking of a forest cover of about six per cent. At Independence, the forest cover in Kenya was ten per cent. Right now we are at six per cent which is around 3,500,000 hectares. That is diminishing. If we continue like that, we are heading in the wrong direction. It will be good to make sure we plant trees along roads. Tree planting along roads should be in a planned manner such that it both beautifies and ensures environmental conservation. We should decide what types of trees to plant along roads. Some trees can be hazardous to traffic. If you have a tree that falls on the road, it can cause accidents. We should also look at power lines so that we do not interfere with them. If a tree grows in a way that interferes with power lines, we can have interruption of power."
