    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. First and foremost, I want to thank the Hon. Cabinet Secretary for the good work that she is doing all over the country. Hon. Cabinet Secretary you are aware that there are certain areas that have a lot of challenge with water and afforestation program cannot succeed very well. So, is there any plan for affirmative action for the Arid and Semi-Arid Lands areas (ASALs)? In the past, there used to be the green schools where we used to have all schools being given seedlings. The schools used to have some kind of competition for greening and some awards were given. Finally, there is this business of the carbon credit footprint business. This is actually benefiting most of the foreigners. The same forests, trees and plants that they are using are ours. However, the locals are not benefiting much. Hon. Cabinet Secretary, we do not understand what the carbon credit is. Therefore, I do not know what your message will be so that atleast the Kenyans can also benefit. There is a lot of money being given to conservancy areas and ranches especially by the foreigners and most of them are the big people. However, the local community do not benefit. So, I do not know what intervention you have so that this money can also trickle down to the locals around the conservancies. I thank you."
