    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand here to oppose this amendment. You do not need to have gone to even nursery school or Standard One to know the danger that is being posed by the settlers in the Mau Forest. Either this Report is complete or incomplete. We do not even require this Report in order to take action. It is common sense to know the dangers that are posed to this country. There is no amount of argument that can justify continuous occupation of Mau Forest unless you want to tell us that you live in another world and you do not understand anything about the environment. Already the dangers of occupying the Forest can be seen and felt. Any minute of postponing the eviction of people from Mau Forest humanely is tantamount to postponing death for the people of this country. This is a national issue. It is not about a province or a certain group of people. It is about us our children and the future of this country. It will also affect the whole world. You can run, but there is no where you can hide. On the issue of Mau Forest, you can try to run, but you will not hide. Time has come for us leaders who have the interests of this nation at heart to say it is now or never. It is over. We cannot be allowed to use a village approach to tackle national issues. We shall be judged. Anybody who contributes to this Motion had better know that we can forget as Kenyans, but the country will never forget your contribution today. The way you try to delay this, we might forget, but the country will never forget or forgive you for what you are trying to do. It is not about settling political scores."
