    "content": "What necessitated this Committee to call for the total ban on logging activities in Kenya? We were not able to get what we wanted. However, we thank the Executive for allowing a moratorium on logging activities in this country for six months. The KFS, which is the custodian of our forest resources in this country, faces many critical challenges. They range from management, governance, administrative and resource challenges. The most significant one is lack of strategic directions. When we were doing our investigations, we realised that KFS lacks sound forest strategic plan for this country. In short, it lacks strategic plans that are required for us to have a thriving forest sector in this country. It is due to these challenges in the forest sector that this country, as much as we are known globally for the great strides we have achieved in natural resource management and environmental issues, has not been able to benefit from the carbon credit which comes from climate change financing and other forms of financing. This is a shame because these are resources that are available globally, which can aid and enable this sector to thrive."
