    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I would like to assure the House that the people living within that region are committed equally to the conservation of that ecosystem. We are committed to the preservation of Mau Forest, the restoration of it, and the reclaiming of any lost environmental area of importance, including the biodiversity. Beyond the platitudes about environmental changes, we are simply asking for an agreeable way forward, that will not cause social and political turmoil. Beyond the issues in Mau Forest, we are asking the Office of the Prime Minister to tell us the exact methodology they intend to use in the reclamation of the forest land, and in reversing the settlement that has gone beyond what was agreed on. We are asking the Prime Minister to tell us when the marking of the boundaries will start; we want to know this before he sends in the police and other instruments of terror. There is a clear demarcation on where the Mau Forest starts. As of now, it starts in Nakuru. We do not know whether we will start in Njoro, at Egerton University or somewhere. There is need for demarcation. We are also asking for a clear indication of commitment by the Kenya Government. Last year, we asked them to set aside funds to show us that they are committed to the conservation of the Mau Forest. This year, we have not seen any voted money that has been set aside to implement this particular commitment."
