    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on behalf of the Minister for Environment and Natural Resources, I beg to reply. (a) The Ministry operationalized the Forests Act (2005) through Gazette Notice No.19 of 9th February, 2007. That automatically transformed the larger Forest Department into a fully fledged State Corporation - the Kenya Forest Service (KFS), whose Board of Management was put in place via Gazette Notice No.1189 of 16th February, 2007. (b) An all-inclusive Forest Reforms Committee to assist the Ministry to establish systems and structures that shall operationalize this law is currently in place and working. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Ministry is currently undertaking the following activities to ensure that the Kenya Forests Service de-links itself from the Ministry:- (1) Availing the necessary information for the transition process. That includes a draft strategic plan, budget, workload analysis, revenue projections, forest inventory and an inventory of assets. (2) Formulation of rules and regulations for engagement with stakeholders in a consultative process. (3) Collection of basic inventory data of forest reserves by category of ownership. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
