    "content": "So, the first step that the Government must take is to have forest guards within the forests so that they are able to monitor and police forests. Secondly, boundaries are not clear. Sometimes, you find the Government burning people’s houses outside the forest and yet the gazetted forest area is not protected. Recently, I brought a petition to this National Assembly on Gwasi Hills. The petition included the issue of demarcating the boundary of Gwasi Hills which was not even there. I am happy that after the Committee of Parliament went and verified what was happening on the ground, we can now see some work going on of demarcating this forest. The community around is happy because at least now, they know where the forest ends. So, whoever encroaches the forest will have himself or herself to blame. In the absence of that, you cannot even be sure of what you need to do to protect and preserve that forest."
