    "content": "Thank you, very much Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand to support this very important Motion. I would also like to correct certain misconceptions about conservation and how trees grow and thrive. Before I do that I would like to bring the attention of the House to the link between land and forests. The underlying issue about conservation, especially of forests, is land. Article 61 of the Constitution on classification of land states as follows:- “All land in Kenya belongs to the people of Kenya collectively as a nation, as communities and as individuals.” I know that Sen. Wetangula has passionately advocated for no-go-zones. How do we not go where we own? Land and forests belong to the people in Kenya. One of the things we should start getting away from is the misconception that forests are owned by the Government and people are on the side watching Government forest."
