I, therefore, wish to report to the House that my Office has received a Petition submitted by Ms. Maureen Memmo of the Wildlife Now Foundation. The Petitioner wishes to draw the attention of the House to some of the proposals in the Nairobi National Park, 2020-2030 Management Plan. The Petitioner avers that the current encroachment to the National Park by projects such as the Southern Bypass, the Standard Gauge Railway and the Internal Container Depot has led to degradation of the environment through increased air and noise pollution, change in migratory paths of wildlife, increase in human wildlife conflict and decreased sighting of animals. The Petitioner is, therefore, concerned that some of the proposals in the Management Plan such as fencing and introduction of eateries may contribute further to the deterioration of the Park. The Petitioner prays that the National Assembly, through the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources, looks into the matter to ensure that the future of this unique Park located right in the middle of the Capital, is not threated by continued encroachment. The Second Petition No.17 of 2020 regards the obstruction of tarmacking of the Konza- Katumani Road."
