    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, ever since I was appointed to this Ministry we have been presenting a budget for expanding the Forest Rangers recruitment for additional Forest Rangers and building capacity for the rangers to be able to oversee the forest plantations and natural forests. So far, we now have a ranger overseeing more than 800 hectares. This particular year, we sought for a budget of Kshs6.5 billion but the Treasury was only able to provide us with about Kshs3 billion. This is still very insufficient although I want to thank this House and the Treasury for having given us some budgetary support to purchase some vehicles and aircrafts. As soon as we get these vehicles, the aircrafts and a helicopter, we believe that the forest rangers’ capacity will be enhanced to be able to patrol not only Mathews Ranges but all the other forests where we have had incidents and reports of illegal logging activities going on."
