    "content": "For the information of the House, the Kenya Forest Service is in charge of 2.59 million hectares of forests in this country. Of this 2.59 hectares, 94 per cent which is about 2.3 million hectares is indigenous forests. The remaining six per cent, which is approximately 150,000 hectares is commercial plantations. The rationale for having commercial plantations within gazetted forests is to provide a buffer or cushion to indigenous forests from exploitation. It is also to provide timber and other wood products that are required for the timber industry. Having commercial plantations will generally deflate attention and demand of forest products from indigenous forests. These commercial plantations are generally found at the periphery of the indigenous forests. I want to underscore that the PELIS that the Member is asking about only happens within plantation forests."
