    "content": "very stringent enforcement measures. In this regard, we have put in place a programme to sensitise Community Forest Associations (CFAs) across the country in various conservancies and we have held several meetings, the first of which was in March this year. We have planned subsequent meetings because one of the flagship projects of the Kenya Kwanza Government is the restoration effort through planting of 15 billion trees and winning the goodwill of communities, particularly forest-adjacent communities. As a Ministry, we are also planning to actively engage the CFAs in participatory forest management meetings going forward, and assist them to come up with forest management plans that will conform to the regulations and confines within which the PELIS practice will happen. These engagements are part of the Government’s plans to ensure that every stakeholder is fully involved in our mission to grow our tree cover to 30 per cent by 2032. I take this opportunity to urge this honourable House and Members through you, Hon. Speaker, to take a leadership role and provide guidance as we protect our forests to curb the menace that is the climate change crisis that we are faced with. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
