    "content": "Hon. Speaker, before issuing a cultivation permit, the Kenya Forest Service, in line with its rule 58 of the Forest Participation and Sustainable Forest Management Rules, is required to issue comprehensive operational guidelines to avoid any abuse of communities having activities within the commercial plantation areas. The cultivation permits that are issued are subject to certain conditions which include planting only of annual crops that are approved by the Service. In return, the communities will be required to render assistance to the Service in beating up or replanting, whichever maybe appropriate in cases of low survival rates of seedlings as well as controlling any illegal forest activities and preventing forest fires. The communities are not allowed to either lease or sell the allocated plot for the practice of PELIS. The other very important guideline is that for any communities allowed to do the PELIS within forests, they are to only use hand tools for land preparation. They are not supposed to erect any structures on the plots allocated, except with the written permission from the Service, and this is only in areas with high incidences of game damage."
