"content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I join my colleagues in noting that some of the petitions that have come here instead of looking at the targeted policies that we have, they almost want to deviate from them. The one which stands out as peculiar is the one for Kisii where they want to replace a forest with a cash crop. My colleague, Sen. Ndiema, can tell you that Kitale Town which had a mighty forest surrounding it is now looking awkward just because all the trees were cut down. The rains we used to have near the town have simply not been good. We now have a lot of soil erosion because of that. We should give targets to these counties to ensure that at every year there is a forest cover that they have planted trees on in order to redeem our forests. They should report to this House what they are doing in restoring forests."
