    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. My question is close to what Sen. Sigei on behalf of Sen. (Dr.) Murango asked about the illegal logging. It is happening in Karura Forest, on Kiambu Road near the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI). It is also happening in Thogoto Forest. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when the KFS was asked about this illegal logging in January, 2025, they assured the public that the ongoing activities are part of the well- planned forest management. They also assured that they will plant trees between March and May. We are now in April, yet, there is no planting of trees in Thogoto and Karura forests. It is not happening. The illegal logging is continuing at an alarming rate. They are saying they are cutting trees for domestic fuel. If, indeed, you are logging for domestic fuel, you are supposed to give the wood, timber and the tree trunks to the neighbours. However, we see big trucks taking these logs away. So, can she clarify what is happening?"
