    "content": "being done in this very fertile region, there is danger that there is no balance between irrigation and farming and the question of protecting the forest. If you pass through Elgeyo-Marakwet from Baringo to Turkana, you will find irrigation taking place. There is clearing of the bush up to River Kerio in the disguise of irrigation. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thought that the law is very clear that there is a given distance between riparian areas or a river and places where you can clear trees and forests. I would like the Chairman to inform us about clear measures that are being put in place in areas that the Government plans to do huge irrigation projects to ensure that the ecosystem is not interfered with. Secondly, I want to emphasise the question asked by Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo. There is a clear contradiction regarding devolution of functions. To what extent is this answer related to counties performing the function of protection of forests and dealing with charcoal burning considering that enough resources are not being given to counties to carry out these functions? Could the Ministry clearly show that as a result of devolution, the resources that were initially at the national level to follow this function have since been given to Elgeyo-Marakwet, West Pokot and Baringo counties to carry out the functions purported to be devolved according to this document?"
