    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also thank the hon. Member for supporting me more in my contribution because that affirms that water is very necessary. As I finish my contribution, I wish to urge the Members who are here and my able Government to appreciate, as we pass this Motion, that it is very costly to implement the resolution that we are about to make while we do not take care of the forests that we have. I have been walking around. When I travel from here to Turkana, I cover a distance of over 1,500 kilometres to my constituency. I observe so many things. When I started to travel from Lowdar to Nairobi at the beginning of my first term as Member of Parliament, I used to see a lot of forests but nowadays I do not see forests on the sides of the road. I do not know where the forests went. I think that is where we are supposed to start. Some people in this nation have changed forest land into their personal land. We have to save forests from corruption. People are “planting” more corruption than planting more trees. It is the role of this House to ensure that we make Kenya and our public institutions beautiful by ensuring that the laws we pass in this House are implemented. I call upon the Committee on Implementation to be more serious this time round. With those remarks, I support."
