    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have people in certain areas of this nation the squatters and other integrated people who were forced out due to post-election violence and they should be considered. The Minister should give out the open spaces where they have planted trees to be cared for by the integrated people. By doing so, we can increase food in our nation. The other point that I have noted is the commitment by the Ministry to increase the forest cover from 1.7 per cent to 5.5 per cent. It is a good commitment but the Ministry cannot realize that objective until its budget is increased. Therefore, I call upon the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance to reconsider, during the Supplementary Estimates, to increase the allocation to this Ministry. When we come to the issue of Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) we have noted that effort has been made to contain poachers. This fight must continue because if you look at the population of our elephants ten years ago, it was very low but currently it has increased. I would like to commend the Director and his staff. Regarding the security officers in the field, we need to increase the number. We also need to retrain the same so that they can consider the neighbouring communities as responsible partners and not being aggressive. So, retraining of the officers is very important."
