    "content": "implementation - and the Committee on Implementation is on the Minority side of the House - to introduce penalties especially, for those who do not plant trees. These penalties can be in cash or kind. It should be a collaboration between the national Government and the county governments. If those penalties are collected, we can use them to pay the youth especially those in the National Youth Service (NYS) to plant trees in our riparian areas and road reserves. As an Hon. Member had mentioned, if you travel from Limuru to Nairobi nowadays, you will find that most of the road reserve there has a lot of trees, courtesy of the Coalition Government led by His Excellency Mwai Kibaki. It is very beautiful and attractive. We have seen an increase in rainfall here in Nairobi. We can also introduce planting of trees not only in our institutions but also on our riparian areas because 15 to 30 metres from every river is public land. For everybody whose land extends to the river, then there is a riparian area there. They should plant trees. If you do not plant trees, then we will impose penalties on you. We will engage our own boys and girls to plant those trees and pay them from the penalties that you have paid."
