    "content": "with the Ministry of Forestry and Wildlife and the Ministry of Environment and Mineral Resources, has already agreed on regulations that I am shortly going to gazette under the Agriculture Act, where it is going to be mandatory for all farmers in the country to plant 10 per cent of their land with trees. This is significant because even after we have planted trees in all our water catchment areas in Mt. Kenya, Aberdares, Cherangany, Mau and Mt. Elgon, we will increase our forest cover from the current 1.7 per cent to only 2 per cent. The target internationally is to take it to 10 per cent. So, we must put in place other mechanisms to ensure that we reach the 10 per cent that is recommended internationally. Under this programme, we should be able to take our forest cover from 2 per cent to 5 per cent. I am sure other initiatives must be put in place to drive this programme, so that we can eventually get to the internationally accepted level of 10 per cent."
