    "content": " I will pass the comments. Hon. Sirma, we are working on the ‘trees first’ regulations with the recognition that for a high survival rate of seedlings, there is need for preparation of land. To the Member for Keiyo South, yes, there are overgrown plantations in the 6 per cent commercial plantations that I spoke about. They have largely been affected by the ban on logging, which has been on since 2018. For the information of the House, the ban on logging is lifted on 5,000 hectares of land, which consist of overgrown and over-mature plantations. This only applies to harvesting of commercial plantations, which form 6 per cent of forests under the management of KFS. Following guidelines in a report of the Auditor General, which followed discussions around the ban on logging, there is a proposed arrangement to make sure that local communities which play custodianship to forests are not left out in the allocation of plantations."
