• 29 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: We want to grow trees because we are no longer growing trees. We have planted many trees that have died and many people who claim to have done this work cannot show us where those forests are. So, we want really to grow trees. I commend the hon. Member to read that atlas. view
• 29 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, farmers will grow trees for their own benefit. Farmers will grow trees to restore fertility to their small holdings. But we shall help in supply of seedlings some of which would be grown by them. view
• 29 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Indeed, so far, we have been buying seedlings from farmers alongside the Ministry of Forestry and Wildlife. I want this House, if I may say so, to regard the Ministry of Forestry and Wildlife and the Ministry of Environment as twin brothers; twin brothers who have no reason to quarrel; twin brothers who are working in the same direction for the same purpose.

• 15 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Bow to the Controller and Auditor-General! view
• 26 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Minister for Forestry and Wildlife is not here, but he has authorised me to answer the Question on his behalf. So, I am seeking your permission to proceed. view
• 26 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. view
