    "content": "There is an issue that was raised by my colleague, the distinguished Sen. (Dr.) Langat. If we had demarcated the Mau Forest in the 1960s that traverses about nine counties, we would not be talking about the kind of destruction that is on-going. As long as we still debate on where the boundary is, the outline and all these kinds of issues, we will not conserve our forests. That is the truth of the matter. I have visited the Mau Forest. I know that in 2017 when the first order was issued for people to vacate the Nyayo Tea Zone, people were calling out those who had gone beyond the Nyayo Tea Zone boundary. They did not want to be deceived because they know where the boundary is. That is how you manage a forest. You need to involve the local communities. The Ogiek are forest dwellers. If you go to some of the renowned forests in the world like the Amazon Rainforest, there are communities that live in the forest. Therefore, it is not a crime because the communities know how to conserve forests because it is within their cultural aspiration.
