    "content": " Yes, that is what I am coming to, but since they are from my county, I wanted to welcome them officially. The land will forever remain emotive, and any approach employed towards disturbing the status quo must be addressed with due consideration. We are in this situation today courtesy of the presentation by my sister, Hon. Jematiah. Somebody chose to be careless and not pay attention to the plight of the residents of that area by degazetting land and appointing the same as a forest. We appreciate the importance of forests in this country as water catchment areas. Forests are also areas that absorb the carbon mix. With climate change such as the one that we are experiencing, it is only important that we pay much attention to the issues of forests. But it cannot be to the detriment of the existence of a people. Elaborate processes are being put in place for the degazettement or gazettement of a particular place, but when you fail to address those matters, we reach that situation. I implore the Public Petitions Committee to move expeditiously to address this matter and put it to rest. I thank you, Hon. Speaker."
