"content": "If you compare Kenya with many other countries, you find that we are worse than them. In the United States of America (USA), there is a policy of making sure that there is an afforestation at all material time. A tree can grow in any climatic condition in Kenya. There is research to that effect. Trees which adapt to different conditions can improve the forest cover and be harvested for timber at an appropriate time by private farmers and companies. However, there has to be a regulation as to how we will handle the matter. This committee was chaired by my good friend, Hon. Kareke Mbiuki. I really want to congratulate him. He is doing very well in this committee and in protection of environment in the country. He did very well in Mombasa last weekend. We must come up with a way of making sure that we save our climate from degradation. We should make sure that every household in Kenya plants a certain number of trees in its farms or wherever they access. Trees should also be planted in homes, schools, and cities, so that we get sufficient forest cover."
