    "content": "As I conclude, it is important that we need to continue the issue of afforestation in this country. We have many hills that are depleted of forest cover because of adverse economic activities. Truly, Hon. Temporary Speaker, you and I share the border and some of the hills between my constituency and yours are so bare that when I stand on top of Odiado Hill, I can see everything, Nyalenya Primary School, and all over the place. We must put our hands together and populate those hills with indigenous trees so that we protect the forest cover. Talking on the same issue, there is this matter of the carbon credit programme. In such an important Bill, the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Environment, Forestry and Mining would have been around. In the fullness of time, they need to educate Kenyans on how that carbon credit programme works and whether the early maturing eucalyptus can actually be part of the solution or a programme on that particular case. In many of our villages, we use pit latrines. Let me give an example. I have a eucalyptus tree next to my pit latrine in my compound. Because there is a lot of water seepage, that tree has grown very fast. I probably want to lend credence to the finding of Hon. Irene that, that eucalyptus tree knows how to extract water from underground. It is the tallest. One day, Hon."
