    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I hereby second the Report of the Committee on the Inquiry into the Forest Resources Management and Logging Activities in Kenya. The committee took this initiative on its own accord. We were not petitioned by anybody. We were proactive, as a committee, when we felt that forest degradation in this country had become a national disaster. It is a reality. We read in the Press every day that forest degradation in Kenya is a national crisis. Our forest cover is disappearing at an alarming rate. As a result of this, our water towers in the Mau Complex, Mt. Kenya region, the Aberdares and other parts of this country, are disappearing. As a result of this degradation of our environmental resources, our lakes and rivers are drying up. The water table keeps on sinking. Forest species are losing their habitats in our forest ecosystem. In short, the entire forest ecosystem in this country is at an immense risk."
