The countrywide tree planting exercise in which Cabinet Secretaries moved around in choppers reared its head during the vetting of Defence Cabinet Secretary nominee Soipan Tuya.

Soipan who previously served in the Environment docket appeared before the Parliamentary Appointments Committee chaired by National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula Thursday and was put to task over the rationale of having Cabinet Secretaries move around the 47 counties to do what governors could have done more effectively.
