"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to also support Hon. Irene Mayaka’s Amendment Bill prohibiting growing of eucalyptus trees along riverbanks, other water bodies and water catchment areas. We all know that eucalyptus has a high water consumption. It has very long, deep roots. It has very high water intake and therefore it lowers water levels across the environment. This makes water scarce in different regions. This is one of the disadvantages with eucalyptus. Research has also shown that eucalyptus trees cause soil degradation. This species releases allelopathic compound that inhibits the growth of other plants underneath, therefore reducing biodiversity and leading to soil degradation. Eucalyptus trees have a lot of disadvantages. However, in my constituency eucalyptus trees are used in tea factories as firewood for factory boilers. It is a big thing over there because of its quick growth and the fact that it burns very well. For this Bill to succeed, we need to encourage factories in my constituency, for instance, to get alternatives for roasting tea. This Bill designates areas where eucalyptus trees should not be planted. We encourage farmers and tea factories with large plantations to designate the correct land parcels to plant eucalyptus trees for the continuity of the factories but avoid riverbanks and swamps which act as buffer zones. Time and again, we have had a lot of soil erosion and floods because these buffer zones have been depleted. Once we abolish planting of eucalyptus trees along riverbanks, we can give life to rivers and conserve our water. Recently, the Government launched an initiative of planting indigenous trees along swamps, riverbanks, and water catchment areas to protect the environment. I request the Ministry of Environment, Climate Change and Forestry, led by our Cabinet Secretary, Hon. Duale, to speed up the process of allowing the youth to plant indigenous trees. It will ensure that we do not leave empty spaces where people can be tempted to plant exotic trees. As we abolish planting indigenous trees along riverbanks and swamps, let us have an alternative to cover up and protect the environment."

"content": " Asante Mhe. Spika wa Muda kwa kunipa nafasi nami nichangie Mswada huu ulioletwa hapa na dada yetu Mhe. Irene, tunayempongeza sana. Irene, twajua kazi unaitenda. Mwenyezi Mungu ndiye mbunifu kushinda watu wote. Naye hakutupa mti ule kwa kuwa alijua hauna umuhimu kwetu. Wakati mwingine tunaleta ufundi lakini Mwenyezi Mungu amepanga mambo kwa mipango yake. Amepanga bila kubagua au mapendeleo. Kwa mfano, tuna Mikoko, Mikoma na mazao mengine Mwenyezi Mungu mwenyewe alitupangia katika Kaunti ya Lamu. Alijua kuwa aina hii ya miti inakua vizuri sehemu hii, wala siyo jukumu langu mimi mkaazi wa Lamu nipange mambo yetu ya kibinadamu. Huenda nikataka kuleta kitu ambacho pengine ni kizuri kwingine lakini hakiwezi kunawiri huku. Mimi mwenyeji wa Lamu ninaweza kusema ninataka kupanda mchai ama mkahawa. Itawezekana vipi? Kwa hivyo, mti huu uitwao mkaratusi haufai."

"content": " Iwapo mti huu una shida, basi ni kwa vile umeletwa na binadamu. Nimejulishwa kwamba mti huu haukuwepo Kenya. Ulikuwa ni wa kwingine. Maji ni mhimu. Kukiwa na mti unaokunywa maji zaidi, basi unafaa kuondolewa. Sisi binadamu tuna vita na wanyama kwa sababu ya maji. Hayo maji ni muhimu kwa mazingira, kwetu sisi binadamu, na wanyama kwa jumla. Kuna haja ya kuharakisha hili suala. Sasa hivi kuna Waziri mtendakazi kwenye Wizara husika, Insh’Allah. Kulikuweko Waziri mwingine mtendakazi kule. Insh’Allah, wote walifanya kazi nzuri. Najua tutasaidika. Tuko pamoja naye kurekebisha. Iwapo huu mti waafaa kutolewa, bila shaka utolewe na usipandwe kabisa. Tupande miti yenye faida na inayokubalika katika maeneo. Kule kwetu kuna mti mbadala wa aina ya Kasorina. Si lazima tupande hii e ucalyptus ambayo ina athari nyingi. Tunasikia uchungu zaidi kutokana na athari hizo. Katika Kenya nzima, wakaaji wa Lamu wafaa kupongezwa zaidi. Nyeri ndiyo kaunti yenye miti nyingi zaidi kisha Lamu ni ya pili. Tunajivunia kuhifadhi mazingira. Naunga mkono kuwa mti huo unasumbua. Tuhakikishe kuwa Mswada huu umepita. Wizara pia yafaa isaidie ili hili jambo lirekebishwe. Asante."
