    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this House made the following resolution on 23rd July 2008. THAT, in view of the fact that Cherengany Hills, a Government gazetted forest is under serious threat from human activities such as logging; aware that the forest is an important natural resource which is a source of a number of rivers and streams; further aware that it is the Government’s stated objective to conserve forests in order to mitigate the effects of climate change, this House urges the Government to protect Cherengany Hills from adverse human activities. I beg to submit in line with Standing Order No.183 which informs the House on what action my Ministry has taken to protect Cherengany Hills from adverse human activities following the House resolution. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Cherengany Hills forest ecosystem which is based in the Rift Valley covers an area of 120,000 hectares and consists of 13 forest blocs that traverses West Pokot, Trans Nzoia and Elgeyo Marakwet counties."
