    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think that is a matter we are looking into and I hope that when my Ministry’s budget comes to this House for approval, there will be proactive participation and effort to make sure that the funds we have sought are provided. You will realize that a week or two ago when I was answering a similar Question that was asked by Ms. Karua in this House, I said that the KFS had sought to be allocated Kshs6.5 billion for us to do our job in the forest sector. Unfortunately, that amount was slashed down to Kshs3 billion which is barely enough for us to do much, but we will work closely and see that, at least, effort is made so that this can be improved where possible. Where it is not possible, I think we can still discuss with communities but so far, I am being informed that the rates paid for seedlings is not a bad one but it can be improved based on additional resources since we have a commitment to ensure that the provision of the Constitution of 10 per cent forest cover is achieved. Right now, we are at 5.6 per cent but we hope that in a few years to come, we will reach that minimum required of us by the Constitution."
