    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member is an old Member of this House. He knows that we passed the Forest Act of 2005 which states very clearly that there will be no human habitation in forest areas. We have game reserves and national parks in forest areas. The law is very clear. It is not true to say that these encroachers have the right to be in the forest. In fact, they are breaking the law to go into a gazetted forest area. In any other circumstances, as Minister for Forestry and Wildlife, I would take stiff action against people like these and actually arraign them before court. But in these circumstances, especially in the Mau area, I really want to commend the people that we have been relocating. They have been very good indeed. They have been very understanding and they want to co-operate with the Government, if it was not for Mr. Isaac Ruto."
