    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand to support that Petition by the Member for Cherangany. I filed a similar Petition on behalf of the people of Ndaragwa. It is important to note that there are many parcels of land in this country which are still within the forest area, but which have since been developed. They have been developed to serve the public. We have public institutions, public schools and hospitals within those areas. It is only fair that the boundaries for the forest in those areas be altered, including what the Member for Cherangany has requested for. The reason I wanted to say something is because I have gone through this process and I am aware that there are many Members who would want to go through the same process. What I can ask them is to read Section 34 more carefully and be familiar with it. If they are not careful, they will go through the same route that I have gone where you come to the Floor, you go to the Committee and you are sent back. There are some things you need to have done way before you even filed the Petition in compliance with the provisions of Section 34 of the Forest Act. If Members were to do so, then the petitions would be processed faster by the Committee. Thank you."
