"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. It is good to see my friend, the Hon. Cabinet Secretary, in the House today. He was the Majority Leader. He left me seated here and he will always find me here regardless of what Sir George thinks. I like his passion for the new assignment. I never knew that he could transit from Afande to a forest man seamlessly. The Cabinet Secretary may not have an answer to the matter I want to raise, but want to engage his team to look at a series of hills in Funyula Constituency, starting from Odiado Hills all the way to Busia Hill. For many years during the time of Professor Julia Ojiambo as the area MP, that area was populated by indigenous trees. As it has been clearly said, over time, bad farming practises, deforestation, tree-cutting for construction and charcoal burning have decimated those trees. Those hills are now bare. Is there a programme within the Ministry through which private owners of land can collaborate with the ministry to ensure afforestation with indigenous trees so that we preserve the environment and return those hills to their status of the 1970s and early 1980s? Thank you."
