"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Ministryâs Vote. From the outset, I would like to say that we need forests. We need to protect and plant so that we can have wood for construction and conservation measures. Therefore this is a Ministry which deserves a higher allocation than any other because this is our livelihood. The forestry sector has been ignored for a long time. It used to get funds from the World Bank but the funds are no longer forthcoming. So, the forest sector was ignored and their staff retrenched and yet we know that forests depend on manpower. The casual labourers and subordinate staff who were there at that time would plant trees. We need a big budget so that we can put our forests back to where there were before. My only problem is that we want to have a cover. We have had a ban on forest"
