    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the Statement by Sen. (Dr.) Milgo on the need to find what is going on at our conservation areas. I have been advocating for community conservation. The Tsavo National Park is a Government park. The reason sometimes we find this disconnect is that the communities living around our national parks are not being accommodated. They are not being used efficiently and benefiting maybe from the conservation area. It is about time our agencies that have the mandate for conserving our national parks came clean. They should use not just policing because it will not work, but also communities around the parks to ensure that good and sustainable conservation is undertaken in our national parks. Madam Temporary Speaker, it is unfathomable and sad to see that fires are causing untold suffering on our animals. Sometimes people say that these animals belong to KWS, but that is not true. The animals belong to all of us in this country; they belong to the world. They are of national and global importance. A good solution needs to be found. From where I sit wearing a conservation hat, the solution is in community conservation. The solution is ensuring that communities that live around Tsavo are part and parcel of the conservation area; that the communities also benefit from that. Madam Temporary Speaker, I would like to congratulate the Government for recently giving Kshs2 billion to community conservation. That is something that we look forward to, and it will become mainstream into the budget of this country. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
