    "content": "I would like, first of all, to thank the Minister for the answer he has given but then I want to make a few clarifications because, one, I am the most affected here because I live in Shinyalu Constituency, Kakamega District, that has the biggest and the largest natural forest and also Malaba which is my neighbour and hon. Shitanda can attest to that. In the first place, the Forest Act of 2005 allows cows to graze in the forest. Was there any amendment towards that or it was just a unilateral decision by the Ministry to stop animals from grazing in the forest? Secondly I would also like the Minister to know that banning animals from grazing in the forest has caused a big problem to the people who live around the forest. This was a source of livelihood for my people of Shinyalu. Actually as we speak now, my people are suffering. Is it possible for you to reverse this to help our people? Is the Minister aware that the forest officers are selling grass at a very expensive price causing a problem to the people of Shinyalu? So could he consider reversing that? Is it possible for you to bring those issues here so that we can discuss together as a family to see the way forward?"
