    "content": "Hon. Speaker, in 2000, we had the ban on maize cultivation within plantation areas. This was largely informed by the abuse and subversion of guidelines that are supposed to guide the process of PELIS, which is a delicate process. The ban on maize cultivation in plantations was informed by the fact that maize grows very fast and ends up covering young tree seedlings. This ends up reducing the growth rate of the tree seedlings due to shading. The retarded tree seedlings were often chopped during maize harvesting by the employees of the PELIS scheme thus resulting in poor forest plantation establishment. Due to the above, the Kenya Forest Service banned the cultivation of maize in the PELIS areas. That was in 2020. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
