    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the response to the question that has been asked is basically that the regulations that are provided for under the Forest Act empower the Kenya Forest Board to establish regulations on how to operationalize some of the sections of that particular Act. This particular Act, and the regulations, also went through a series of stakeholder meetings and information sharing before it came to this House. I want to state clearly that what I had said is that the appeal should come through the Zonal Forest Officer and then we will have the Kenya Forest Board look at it and give way forward and what they can do in those special cases. If we say that we will give a waiver to all the public institutions that are inside forests--- I think it will be difficult for me to give that undertaking now. Let us treat every case on its merits and justification that is going to be provided by the wananchi on the ground. This will be evaluated by the Kenya Forest Service (KFS); we can re-look into this."
