"content": "(Hon. (Dr.) Deborah Barasa): Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, Sir and Hon. Members. Indeed, these are interesting questions, some of which would require us to sit down to provide you with a comprehensive report. We assure you that we will ensure we have tangible evidence so that we are all on the same page. Regarding Karura Forest, there has been sufficient communication by the KFS and Friends of Karura through their social media platforms. Additionally, public notices are displayed at all Karura Forest gates to announce upcoming activities. Concerning tree planting, we are not merely planting trees; as a Ministry, we are focused on growing them. Perhaps I forgot to mention that of the 783 million trees we have planted, we have observed an 85 per cent survival rate over three years. This means that 85 per cent of the trees are thriving. We are also monitoring how many trees are being cut down to ensure we do not have a negative net balance. This forms part of the communication and the report we will share, categorized by county to ensure everyone is well informed. Regarding Laikipia, we take note of the destruction caused by elephants, which are indeed a menace. To address this, the KWS has installed electric fencing to mitigate tree damage and minimize human-wildlife conflict. The fencing has been implemented in that area. Regarding prosopis juliflora or Mathenge, we have drafted a Cabinet Memorandum that will soon be tabled. This memorandum outlines a comprehensive approach to addressing this issue through an inter-ministerial committee. This concern affects 27 counties. That is why we needed to have a comprehensive approach to this. We will keep you updated on the progress in addressing it. On the topic of charcoal, there is a draft Charcoal Regulations, 2025, which is currently undergoing public participation. This regulations aims to allow for sustainable charcoal production. Thank you."

However, Kauka and Maina Village areas, all the way to Marmanet are still being affected by those elephants. I give her the benefit of the doubt, considering she is new in the Ministry. However, she should provide the correct information."
