Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, following what hon. Ochiengâ has raised, there is the issue of the eucalyptus tree. We have seen the Minister for Environment and Mineral Resources asking people to uproot that particular tree in certain areas. I would like to know whether that is an official Government policy. We are made to understand that, that tree consumes a lot of water. Could we know from the Assistant Minister today, whether it is an official Government policy that Kenyans should uproot all eucalyptus trees? If that is so, what is the reason?

So, I urge that you probably re-arrange the order under your power in the Standing Orders or ask the hon. Member to withdraw because we need to spend the time in an optimal manner.

On behalf of Parliament, we looked at every clause of this Bill and gave our considered Report, which I will present on behalf of our Chairman, Mr. Fred Kapondi.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am just looking at the Circulars that the Minister has tabled before the House. One of the things he is talking about is to ensure that there is regional balance, improvement of service, fair distribution in recruiting officers in the Civil Service at the lower levels. That is the reason as to why the Government has introduced the District-based Recruitment Policy. I want to follow up the same question, because we are dealing with a Minister of Government here. We are talking about recruitment at district level. We have been told by the High Court that ...
