    "content": "I support the Hon. Member in this Motion so that we have a way of increasing trees in our institutions and even in our households so that we can conserve our environment more. We are about to form committees. Even our President, His Excellency Uhuru Kenyatta is about to constitute his Cabinet. I am looking forward to a time when the agencies that will be charged with ensuring that our environment is okay will institute mechanisms of ensuring that we have weeks of tree planting in this country. Those of us who are alumnus of Kenyatta University (KU) can remember that there were days we used to have culture week. We would spend the whole week celebrating our culture. We would have environmental weeks. We would spend the whole week talking and thinking about our environment. I also believe that, in the coming days, we also can institute such ideas and mobilise our people into the idea of planting more trees in our homes and institutions noting that our public institutions have a limit to which they can plant trees. So, involving people in our homesteads to plant more trees will be a very good idea. I am in full support of this idea. Just before I finish, I also take note of the fact that we have companies in this country which are the biggest consumers of our trees. It is also important we also compel them into making serious contributions to afforestation. It is because they really consume our trees. Where I come from, we also have factories that consume firewood. I see them setting aside some budget and providing residents with trees so as to do afforestation. If we will have many companies that consume trees give back to the community by donating or setting aside some money to buy seedlings, that would also help us in afforestation. With those few remarks, I to support."
