    "content": "Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. Before the Division Bell was rung, I was saying that at the outset I oppose this Motion. Reading through this Motion, it envisages a situation where if these parastatals we are talking of are transferred to the respective counties, it would boost the revenue. The Mover of this Motion did not convince us and neither did he tell the House how this was going to happen. Take for instance the Nyayo Tea Zones which were established for purposes of protection and conserving water catchments under gazetted forests in this country; they occupy a width of about 100 metres. There are 17 zones in this country. These Nyayo Tea Zones have no titles. I have been sitting here listening very carefully and I have asked myself: How are they going to be transferred and yet they have no titles in the first place? These are actually zones within the forest. The forest conservation together with management of water catchment areas is done in conjunction with the Kenya Forest Service (KFS). The two cannot be delinked. How then can Nyayo Tea Zones be transferred to the counties?"
