    "content": "Trees are important in our lives. I suggest that while I support this Motion, I wish Hon. Chepkut could listen to me clearly since he introduced the Motion, it is important not to plant trees that are not indigenous on our land. We have seen the mess the Mathenge as it is called, has caused on our land. It has not only affected the landscape but also our livelihoods. Therefore, I emphasise that I will follow up this Motion to see that it is implemented. If the House could agree with me the trees to be planted must be indigenous or trees that can give livelihood to our communities and not trees planted just for the sake of greening our lands. We are not there for that. We want these trees to be beneficial to our future generations over the years. I mind my colleagues who want to support the Motion, so I will shorten my time of contribution. The House should take it upon itself and consider the future our next generation. I support this Motion. Thank you very much Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
