    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, I cannot agree to any proposal of this nature. Yesterday, I was in a function where I was threatened by people who said that they would not vote for me because I have been fighting for forests in Makueni. I am on record on this Senate as having challenged the lifting of the moratorium by the then Cabinet Secretary, Prof. Wakhungu, on trees in Makueni. I would like to say this without any fear; this is criminal enterprise. It is not about employment. It is about cartels of people who have never planted a tree in their life. They want to harvest trees that are 6o years old for purposes of their pockets. We cannot agree when countries in Europe have 500 or 600 acres of trees and then, you find somebody who is doing criminal enterprise; buying and cutting trees aimlessly. We cannot allow this to happen. Madam Temporary Speaker, wherever this Statement goes, I would oppose it; if it lands under the sea, I will oppose it. We will do whatever it takes to oppose this sort of thing; it is wrong!"
