    "content": "Finally, I would like to comment on the provision in the Bill of honorary foresters. An honorary forester is a good idea, but there is no provision on the qualifications of an honorary forester. We have seen this aspect being abused in KWS for a long time, where we have honorary wardens. Honorary wardens in KWS are from one community. You cannot say that they are Kenyans. There is an assumption that indigenous people cannot conserve the environment. The position of honorary foresters should not be used to entrench or to bring on board foreigners so that they can have access to our forest resources. Those people could have ulterior motives and we can have our genetic resources harvested and exported without our consent. So, we need to amend this law to ensure that it provides for the minimum qualification of an honorary forester."
