    "content": "in that board? It is because 25 per cent of gazetted forest cover in Kenya is in Samburu District. Some of it may be a desert but we can discuss under the new law how to review the boundaries which means that 25 per cent of the oxygen you breathe comes from my constituency. But I cannot blame the Minister for that because he does not have funds to set the ball rolling to create the forestry association to deal with advocacy; to explain that the law was supposed to bring communities to jointly own forests with the Government, so that they can benefit from the forests and also protect them. I want to agree with hon. Sirma that the emphasis has been really on that section of the law, which is punitive! That is the law which says that if you trespass or if you cut a tree, you will be heavily penalized. But the other sections which benefit the communities have not been emphasized. We must also remove the police and the Provincial Administration from the forests. Let the Forest Service be in charge of the forests!"
