There are a few statements that I had requested for. On your schedule, item No.47 on Illegal Logging in Makueni County was due on 5th November, 2013. There was also a statement on the Demarcation of Konza City Boundary which was due on 13th November. I am particularly concerned about the one on illegal logging because Government agencies are issuing contradictory reports on the ground whilst the Cabinet Secretary had issued a ban. Now, the logging has resumed, apparently, on the orders of the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA). I request that some action be taken so that the Statement comes to the House as quickly as possible."}
