    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I look at this whole issue as a feature of culture or communities, somewhere along the line, losing this aspect of nurturing trees. I remember many people in the 1960s planting trees and nurturing them, and this seems to be gone. Unfortunately, we now have to go the legislative way; and an Act is already in place. I would urge Sen. Kassanga that as we proceed with dealing with this Motion, if there is capacity somewhere to visit certain County Executive Committee (CEC) members and find out what they are doing, probably within a context of a Committee – maybe the Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources – then we should do so. What are the CEC Members doing within their various counties? What are the figures of trees that have been planted over a particular time? How have they been nurtured and where are they? Just as Sen. Were said when seconding this Motion, you look at countries where there is a building, a park, trees and space for people to sit under a shade of a tree. This seems to be very effortless, but when you go through the legislation in those countries, you find that it is very difficult to cut a tree because of the high penalties in place."
