    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I appreciate the answer given by this Assistant Minister. He is one of the very hardworking Assistant Ministers. When he answers his Questions, he addresses the issues. This is an issue that has been pending since the year 2000, that is for 12 years. In the meantime, the forest is undergoing tremendous destruction because it is not clear which Government department is responsible for the protection of the species of animals and the forest, yet the Assistant Minister is saying the Government is reviewing regulations. I am aware that as far back as 14th July 2000, the then Minister actually handed over forest area by a letter. The letters says:- “Following the decision of the Government that the whole of Mt. Kenya gazetted forest area which is currently managed by the Forest Department be placed under the KWS” As a result of the two Government arms fighting over the control of this forest, we are now facing a real situation of the complete destruction of the forest. When will this review take place? How soon can you assure us that this legal notice will be amended, so that we are clear as to who is managing this forest in order to save the destruction of the forest that is currently going on? Can you give specific timelines when we can expect this to be done?"
