    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I would also like to add my voice to the Petition by the Member for Laisamis. Last year, I stood in this House and asked a Question on the way the KDF staff behave when they are dealing with the communities around them. I was specifically referring to the 78 Tank Battalion based in Isiolo, where one driver is on record for killing three people by running over them with a Kenya Army vehicle. Even as we seek land for the KDF to undertake their exercises or training, it is important for them to be cautioned to coexist with the community in the best way possible. Hon. Speaker, I also wish to comment on the issue of the Nairobi National Park. There are a lot of rumours about a hotel that is likely to be put up in the middle of the Nairobi National Park. We know that it is the decision of this country to have that national park around the City of Nairobi as an income-generating activity and also for purposes of making Nairobi what it is – the only city in the world with a national park next to it. When the Ministry gazettes construction of a huge hotel in the middle of the National Park, we missed the point. I would like this matter to be discussed so that we do not have hotels built right in the middle of Nairobi National Park, but probably, in locations that will enable coexistence with animals and also manage the environment better. I support the Petition."
