    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to comment on the Petition on the encroachment of the Nairobi National Park. At the outset, I want to state that the Committee is seized of this matter in terms of the encroachment of the Nairobi National Park. We had scheduled a meeting with the Cabinet Secretary last Monday. It was unfortunately postponed. This Petition is timely because we can now deal with this matter holistically. We are seeing a lot of conflict within the Government agencies. The Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), which is the custodian of Nairobi National Park, is having a conflict with Kenya Railways. Kenya Railways is a State agency in charge of SGR. We have the Kenya National Highways Authority that has put roads cutting across the national park. We also have the Inland Container Depot, whereby some of the land belonging to KWS has been hived off by the Kenya Railways. The Ministry has sought indulgence with the Committee so that the various Government agencies can sit and iron out these issues. We can then communicate to this House. I hope the Committee will prosecute this matter with urgency because there is a serious conflict between State agencies in the jurisdiction of Nairobi National Park. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
