    "content": "One, the intent of variation must be approved by the Forest Conservation Committee (FCC) of that area. Every area with a forest has a FCC except my area where we have Boni Forest. But everywhere else, there is a FCC that is consulted to give their approval. Another important thing which is supposed to be looked into before approval is if rare species are found in some particular forests so that they are not endangered. If this forest is curved to resettle people yet we have endangered species, this will not be approved. We looked into this to avoid violating it. Another very critical and important issue when talking about forests - like we are addressing Mau Forest issues - is the water catchment area. When we went to Mt. Elgon, the Committee looked at the value of the forest as a water catchment area so that the springs and lakes in the forest are not affected in terms of resettling people."
