    "content": "Therefore, I think through the noble idea that has come from the Cabinet, the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources and the Departmental Committee on Lands sat down and did due diligence as required by law. They went for public participation. Unfortunately, I was not part of it but we shared the report that we received as a Committee. Actually, the essence of us, as a Committee, to oversee the Executive is to help it to maintain the environment. We would have actually declined this, but we had to compare matters on environment against matters of security and also the management of forests. I was surprised that the Vice-Chair did not mention this. We were even told that Dorobos are natural inhabitants of forests and they have maintained the forest where they have lived. Therefore, this will not affect the environment. I just urge my colleagues that we do not make this story very complicated. Let us support this so that we can have peace in Mount Elgon. I wish to support."
