    "content": " Thank you, Hon. (Dr.) Pukose. The staff establishment of KFS is of concern. We know the number of illegal activities leading to destruction going on within forests and one of the issues is to make sure that as we allow for in-forest activities, that will go hand-in-hand with a human resource audit to make sure that KFS is the one tasked with the Ksh15 billion trees initiative. If we have staffing issues, then it is going to compromise that. Following the recent recruitment of rangers and the upcoming recruitment of forest officers, indeed, the issue of human resources is of paramount importance to make sure that enforcement of the law is adhered to fully. I was on the question by Hon. Elachi. Yes, it is only the forest-adjacent communities that are eligible for PELIS. From the regulations, we only allow for hand tools. Previously with the abuse of the PELIS process, you would find people getting in with tractors, but we will not allow it. Just like I said, this is only allowable within commercial plantation areas."
