    "content": "Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I have listened to this issue and I have a lot of interest in it. The Constitution is the most powerful document in this country. It has created several Acts including the Forest Act which created the Forest Department. All gazetted forests are protected by the Kenya Forest Service (KFS). All the land belongs to the State and it is the Commissioner of Lands who keeps the custody of land in this country. We are going to water down the Constitution if we start tilting everything to our personal interests. I cannot foresee a situation where we are going to trust our forests in the hands of ethnic groups. For security reasons it will be a hazard. We are going to allow a situation where militia groups will be trained, with permission from Parliament and it will pose real danger to this country. For economic reasons, we are going to create a situation where the Kaya group that is outside the country will quietly come back. Their brothers will ask them to come and pitch tent in the forest. I believe that we need to delve into this and think about it. So, I oppose."
