This person has consolidated an entire industry of timber in the country. They have devastated all the forests in Baringo, Kericho and Nakuru. I was embarrassed the other day when I saw our distinguished colleague from Nakuru come here and read a Statement that she wants the cutting of trees to be sanctioned in Nakuru. One could even see the embarrassment on her face when she was reading the Statement; she did not believe in what she was saying."}
