"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, my first Petition is to the Ministry of Forestry and Wildlife. Twenty years ago, the people of Marakwet because of low levels of education, requested that they be given access to three acres of land inside the indigenous forest and be allowed to harvest it. This was so that they could build secondary schools. There were very few secondary schools in the community. Mr. Safari, who was the then Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources, gave authority that the County Council of Marakwet should plant indigenous trees on the three acres of land. During that time, the trees were very young. When they matured, we realized that the Permanent Secretary had been changed and so was the Government. We were then denied the opportunity to harvest the trees. The petitioners are the schools and the leaders of Marakwet. They humbly request that the Ministry of Forestry and Wildlife grants the request to harvest exotic trees from the indigenous forest along Yemit â Kapcherop Road to be used in the construction of dormitories in six schools in Marakwet West Constituency and that the trees harvested be replaced by indigenous trees by the said petitioners. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I table the Petition."
