"content": "the Ministry does not require a report to clear loggers, speculators and charcoal burners from the Mau Complex. That is an ordinary task that the Ministry should ordinarily be undertaking. So, for us to come to this House and attempt to argue that unless we have a report immediately, we cannot stop charcoal burners, loggers and speculators from destroying the Mau is not being honest and truthful. However, that is not my point. There is an African saying that if you want to go fast, you walk alone, but if you want to go far, you walk with others. We have attempted to walk fast in this country previously on many national issues and we know where it has led us. This is one of those national matters that we cannot afford to run fast and alone. We must walk together on this issue, whether we like each other or not. How do we walk together in this matter? We will walk together by giving this august House, through its Committee on Lands and Natural Resources, which is properly constituted under Standing Order No.198(2), the opportunity to have an intimate appreciation and understanding of the Mau Forest Complex Report, so that we can debate these issues with utmost reason, especially since it is so obvious that we run a very high risk of falling victim to passions and emotions."
