What we are witnessing is a situation where people want to make it look like if you do not have the numbers then nothing is going to happen. I want to make it very clear that there is tension out there now because of the Mau Forest Complex issue. People made it political. There have been political utterances that touch on the incitement of communities out there and it is on record. So, if we continue blocking this debate every time it comes to this House-- - You have just ruled on the issue of Sub judice that was before this House. The other day there was a petition in this House. So, for how long shall we keep on shifting the goal post; buying time? Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Report of the Task Force was presented to the Prime Minister four months ago. The blocks that are in the Mau Forest Complex are 22. Out of the 22, only one is under the Trusteeship of the Narok County Council; the Maasai Mau Forest. As the Report says, this forest was encroached on illegally. So, we should not delay the process of saving the only forest with the little forest cover left, since most of it has been cleared. This is the only forest with a little remaining forest cover. As I have said, every minute a tree is being cut. So, for how long are we going to wait again? Regarding the eviction of people, as we have said, there are those who are in the forest without claim. So, the compensation element is the responsibility of the Government. The Government knows who deserves or does not deserve compensation and it is in the Report. So, let people move out of the forest and let us save it. Those who deserve compensation can even be compensated outside the forest. The Government has a mechanism on how to sort them while outside the forest."
