    "content": "On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. My point of order is on the title “Chief Conservator of Forests”. We know very well about organisational structure. We need somebody who is at the peak of the organisation. Normally, the position that has been used to describe the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Kenya Forest Service (KFS) is the Director-General. They are guided by the State Corporations Act where we have positions like the “Chief Executive Officer”, “Managing Director” and “General Manager”. Why did you decide to change the title of the person who is at the peak of the organisation to “Chief Conservator of Forests”? I hope it is replacing the Director-General who is at the apex of this State Corporation, which is in charge of conservation. The Chair of the Committee should explain to us whether they amended the KFS Act to change the title from “Director-General” to “Chief Conservator of Forests”. For the sake of consistency, I oppose that amendment."
