"content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This issue of Mau has been there for a very long time. The issue of Mau is a big challenge that is facing all of us. The Maasai Mau, especially is a trustland under the trusteeship of the County Council of Narok. Is it possible that the Government can mandate the county council because it has the capacity to manage this forest and if possible, including even moving those people who are in that forest? There are two groups of people in the forest now. There are those who have genuine claims and I think those are the people the Government is trying to compensate, there are land operators; charcoal burners and there are other idlers who are staying in the forest in the hope that they will benefit some day. I am requesting the Government to take action on this group of people because the same group of people is cutting down trees every day and by the time the Government moves in, there will be no trees to be saved. So is it possible for the Government to work with the county council especially on the Maasai Mau because it is a trustland under the new Constitution and even under the old Constitution? Is it possible for this council to be mandated to take action and save this part of their trustand?"
