    "content": ", which was apparently introduced by the colonialists. It was planted along the boundaries between the farms and the natives. This plant is a menace because you cannot burn it and once its thorns pierce your body, they are apparently pulled in by your blood. So, when our people are faced with such a menace, because after sometimes it continues growing and you can have a very wide area infested with kulasi, and since the thorns are very poisonous and people even fear them because if they prick you, they are pulled by your blood into the veins; then it becomes a serious problem to anybody who encounters such an occurrence. So, it is important that the kulasi menace is also taken into consideration. I remember when I was a young boy, we apparently used to eat the kulasi fruit; it is very sweet, but the most unfortunate thing about it is that it also brings some very high levels of constipation. So, the only animal that benefits from the kulasi fruit is the baboon. When the baboon takes this fruit, because it is very, very sweet and anywhere it goes to relieve itself, that seed starts growing. That is how it has now moved from the boundaries to farms and areas. So, considering that the fruit of the kulasi and its sweetness brings in the baboons, and the baboons also feed on maize grown by our farmers, then you can see that it is a serious problem within the farming areas in Nakuru County where kulasi is growing. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, when I went to Turkana, I, of course, saw the challenges that Mr. Munyes and the other leaders from the area are facing.
