"content": "planting task on the people living in the Mau Complex so that we can use the extensive human resource in that area to do the reafforestation rather than remove them when we know very well that our countryâs Budget will not afford to buy them the extra land they require when we remove them from the Mau? As the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance thinks outside the box and devolved funds, the Ministry of Environment and Mineral Resources needs to shift its concentration from protection of the environment to conservation. The conservation world moved from protection to conservation over 20 years ago. I would like us to do this so that we save the money we intend to use to buy land for the people we have been evicting from forests. We should use the resource that is abundant in this country, which is our population, and in this case, the population which is in the Mau Complex. I would like to commend the Minister for allocating more funds to both the Women Enterprise Development Fund and the Youth Enterprise Development Fund. I hope that just like the Youth Enterprise Development Fund, the Women Enterprise Development Fund will look at partnering with Sharia compliant financial institutions so that communities that are not allowed to take interest are able to benefit from this resource. In light of this, there was an allocation in the Supplementary Budget towards helping the livestock sector. I would wish that if there is any money that can be spared, it should be given to the Kenya Meat Commission (KMC) so that it can buy livestock that is dying and impoverishing the pastoralist communities. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
