    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Mau Task Force Report is very clear. If you look at Chapter I, you will find that the Task Force made certain recommendations. Likewise, if you look at Chapter II and III of the Report, you will find that there are specific recommendations. It is important that we do not delay this Report or the decision on the Mau Complex any longer. This House needs to make a decision now, so that those people who are affected can be re-settled humanely and the amount of money that the Government is seeking from the donors can be obtained and the forest rehabilitated. Extensive damage has been done to the Mau Forest in the last 15 years. There has been a lot of encroachment and illegal settlement. There are several fundamental questions that we need to ask. Who was responsible for the degradation of the forests in this country for the last 15 years? One of those forests is Mau. The Government has tasked a Task Force to produce a report whose recommendations have been laid on the Table of this House. This august House must decide so that we do not push aside this problem and keep the people who live in the forest in suspense. So, it is important that we debate and adopt this Report. I just want to say that the guilty are afraid. Anybody who will oppose this Report should be guilty of a certain issue. Who was the Minister for Environment for the Republic of Kenya between 2001 and 2002?"
