    "content": "A couple of weeks ago, young men from my constituency decided not to sit back and watch as their environment was degraded and trees burnt to make charcoal. The photographs are there to show that. I should have brought them to this House to show the challenges that we are facing. Refugees are burning trees that have been there for over 200 years. These are very important indigenous trees. We cannot accept to see the trees that are irreplaceable being burnt to charcoal. I do not know whether any of my current generation will ever live for 200 years. We cannot accept to see indigenous trees that have lived for over 200 years being cut, burnt to make charcoal and used as fuel and are never replaced. I say this to the UNHCR while I have this opportunity. They should consider putting in a lot of effort in ensuring that Wajir South and other constituencies that host refugee are given opportunity to plant trees to support them."
