Ogola","speaker_title":"","speaker":null,"content":"tree, whether it is for harvesting, normal harvesting, or dead trees, a number of trees must be planted to replace it. In my county, we had the Ruma National Park and Kodera Forest, which had a lot of trees some years back. However, if you go there today, the ground is open. This is why I want to support the afforestation and reafforestation programmes. In this country, we have national tree-planting days. I pray that we go ahead and even establish family tree-planting days. As we plant trees as a nation, why can our families not adopt the national tree-planting notion so that they can plant trees when the rainy season begins? This requires public education. I also want to enhance this by saying we must increase the planting of Indigenous trees as we plant the rest. The county departments of forestries can implement this."}
