    "content": "I thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for indulging me. Mine is just to provide some information to the Cabinet Secretary about this rampant logging that is taking place across the country. Last weekend, I was in Kitui, a ward called Tharaka. These are Kenya Power (KP) people restoring power lines. The level of tree felling was enormous. In fact, if proper investigation is carried out, it may as well produce the results. Kenya Power is doing very serious damage to our forests. They are cutting down trees that have been there for hundreds of years, simply just to provide wayleave for power lines. This morning, I have come from Nakuru. I witnessed the same felling of trees that clearly are not less than 50 to 60 years old. The Ministry has to do something about logging, both in public and even in private forests. Otherwise, we will convert this country into a desert."
