    "content": "Thank you Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This is a very serious and emotive matter. As Hon. Sen. Osotsi has stated, it was already before the National Assembly in the 12th Parliament, and it has escalated over a long time. This case creates an exception because ordinarily now, Kenya and the whole world is protecting forests. The distinction in this case is that the people around that area gave away their land and they did not get in the back. The place is being fenced and they are being fenced inside and that the place should have been gazetted for settlement, removed from the forest and allowed. However, the practice is that no forests should undergo through that procedure because, we need to conserve all the forests in the country. We need to plant more trees. It is a call to the whole world. It is a serious global matter. I support Sen. Osotsi and say that forests need to be protected, even what remains after excision and even these people are being given this land, they should also plant trees so that we live up to the theme. If is unfair for the Government to have reversed its decision. Those people are going to be removed from a land that is going to be afforested again."
