    "content": "a governor. People like those are about to take public office. I do not understand why they should not sit on the boards. Mr. Speaker, Sir, secondly, I want to point out - my brother, Sen. Kivuti, is not here - we are struggling to raise our forest cover from the current paltry of 2.3 per cent to a recommended United Nations (UN) 10 per cent. Countries like Japan in 1960, had a 10 per cent forest cover, today it has a 70 per cent forest cover. South Korea in 1960 had 15 per cent forest cover, today it has 80 per cent forest cover. And what are we doing here? We are moving gazetted forests from being gazetted and leaving it to land speculators and land grabbers. I can see in the schedule set out here; there is Aberdares, Mt. Elgon, Mt. Kenya, Londiani, Tinderet, Turbo, Western Mau and Mangrove Swamps. We are moving them from being gazetted as forests, in order to pander to the greed of land speculators and grabbers. There is no ordinary person who grabs land; it is the big people who do. If we want to build our forest cover to even the bare minimum recommended by the United Nations (UN) of 10 per cent, how do we remove gazetted forests from the Schedule and leave them to the ravages to satisfy greed? This is something I also do not understand. I want an undertaking from the Majority Leader that he will consider bringing amendments."
