Ningependa kusema kwamba tuna nia ya kujua pahali miche inakuzwa. Lazima ikuzwe kulingana na mipangilio ya vikundi katika nurseries.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to switch to English. The challenge we have is availability of seedlings. We also need to understand that for the Government to buy seedlings, there is a process of doing that. The process we are setting in place is that groups of young people, women or whoever is involved in seedlings production should have their nurseries registered through the KEFRI because they have to be certified for the quality.

We have had discussions with the County Government of Kilifi and it might arise in any other county in this country. Going forward, we need to ensure that due process is followed.

It will also ensure that any accruing benefits to the Government are realized adequately.

the highest opportunity for our tree growing initiative to succeed. This is where we have the land available in large sizes. Therefore, yes, we have to do affirmative action of sorts and we are in discussion with the Ministry of Water, Irrigation and Sanitation to start with. This is because of the weather conditions in the ASALs which do not give us the opportunity to do massive tree growing because of the unpredictability of the rains and the likes. We have the plans for the schools, but we must march this with the availability of the necessary infrastructure, key of ...
