    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support the position taken by our Committee. It is good that both the Senate and the National Assembly have taken this Bill seriously. The issues addressed here regarding our forests might mean life or death for some of us. They are also for posterity. It is clear from the Constitution that forests are a shared function. The national forests are vested under the authority of the national Government, while forestry is a county function. When serious decisions are made regarding this issue, the suggested amendments to include consultations with the county governments are in order. This is because while the national Government can deal with the national forests, the other forests, including agroforestry, are under the mandate of the counties. The issue of the Cabinet Secretary initiating a review of the forest policy after every five years is also a good proposal because the environment keeps on changing. At the end of the day, what might be good for our environment today might change in a few years or after a certain period. That proposal is also important. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
