    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what is very clear is that the efforts that have been made to conserve forests have not been very straight forward. For example, in the Mt. Kenya area, about 15 years ago, a decision was made to surround the forest by Nyayo Tea Zones. Initially, it is true that we were not happy with Nyayo Tea Zones. It meant that people were evicted from forests. They were not given alternative places to settle. Their cows and other livestock were confiscated by the Government. But with hindsight, I think we should thank the former President for making that decision to have Nyayo Tea Zones. It is very clear in Mt. Kenya that if you cross the Nyayo Tea Zones, you are in the forest. So, the issue of boundaries--- I have seen in the Report that it is mostly talking about boundaries. Nobody seems to know the boundaries. So, which year are you talking about the boundaries? So, I think we should also make it a policy that, first of all, we should demarcate our forests. We should put proper beacons and fences. We should surround them with a tea zone so that, when you cross that tea zone, you know that you are now encroaching on the forest."
