    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you are also aware that it is only the Ministry of Environment and Mineral Resources that has the power to plant trees in forest land and it is properly designated. The rest of the trees, like the eucalyptus, are planted by farmers in their own farms. Otherwise, nobody plants trees in land that does not belong to him. We encourage them not to plant them. We should also remember that there are reasons why they are doing it. First of all, the KTDA is encouraging the planting of trees in Meru area because the people there are selling the firewood to the KTDA. Secondly, they also want the trees because they grow very fast. They are doing it for commercial purposes. They have forgotten that those trees consume so much water from the rivers and springs. We need to have a programme to educate farmers on the right kind of trees that they should plant, especially indigenous trees."
