    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for allowing me to make a Statement during this inaugural Zero Hour. I have two little general statements. The first one concerns harassment of the people of Mogotio Constituency by forest warden officers. Pursuant to Standing Order No.43, I wish to make a statement regarding the continued harassment of the people of Mogotio Constituency by forest warden officers under the pretext that they are engaging in charcoal trade and thus affecting the forest in the area. The people of Mogotio support the protection and conservation of forests. However, I wish to highlight that there is actually no forest located in Mogotio. Any charcoal used by residents is from individual farms and more so, from the Prosopis Juliflora plant popularly known as Mathenge . As far as I know, the charcoal trade has not been outlawed in this country. The ongoing ban is only of cutting down trees in forests for charcoal production. I call upon the forest warden officers and police officers to desist from harassing young people on their private farms, release confiscated motorbikes and work to reverse the hefty fines meted on my people by courts for alleged charcoal trade. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
