    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the community forest associations are part of the Act of Parliament. We have been rolling this out to all areas where we have natural forests. For this particular area where the hon. Member represents, we have the Namunyak Mathews Rangers Community Forest. I want to admit that apart from capacity building, not much in terms of resources has been rolled out to that community. As a Ministry through the Kenya Forest Service, we will make sure that we have supported these particular groups to assist us in making sure that forests that are within their areas of jurisdiction are protected. These forests belong not only to the Government. If you look at our new Constitution it states very clearly that the Government and the communities have a responsibility to take care of the environment. I think it is the Government’s responsibility to make sure that as my Ministry gets sufficient resources these communities are supported to assist the Government to protect forests that belong to them."
