    "content": "The eucalyptus trees also affect other indigenous species. That means that they have a lot of effects on other trees in a given area. It has also been found that where eucalyptus trees have been cut, there is a lot of soil erosion. We are not condemning the eucalyptus trees. We are seeking control of its planting and the elimination of the trees in water catchment areas. Eucalyptus trees are important, especially on provision of firewood and timber. Most of the tea factories, especially where I come from, depend on the eucalyptus trees. I suggest that eucalyptus be planted in the dry areas where there is no competition for water. So, regardless of the fact that it is medicinal and we get a lot of firewood and timber from it, I support the Environmental Management and Coordination (Amendment) Bill to clear the eucalyptus trees from these areas. So, I support the amendment of this Bill. It is long overdue."
