    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for once again giving me this time to react to the answers given by the Cabinet Secretary. Waziri, we are not only talking about government forests and other government institutions. I am very passionate about planting trees. We need to engage people at home to do serious planting of indigenous and exotic trees. I am saying this because if we do not engage the people of this country to plant trees on their private lands, we may not achieve what we want to achieve. Waziri, I hope you are aware that most rivers are disappearing because of degradation. This is happening because farmers around small rivers are ploughing the river banks. This encourages soil erosion. This is what is happening at the community level. You have only spoken about big government institutions. We need to speak about rivers in our local areas. There are so many rivers drying up because of quarry activities. I know you are not lazy. I would request you to one day move around and see what is happening along most rivers in Kenya. Rivers have actually disappeared. You have spoken about KEFRI. Let us devolve it. I am not saying that we take away all the offices from KEFRI, but we need the seeds. They have good indigenous and exotic seeds that Kenyans can plant. If tree seedlings are freely made available to Kenyans today, you will see wonders. Otherwise, I am satisfied to some extent. I know you will do it, Waziri. Thank you."
