    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, if you were to rely on the tourism by Hon. ole Sankok, then this country would suffer. If he goes across the country looking for rats, then I think he must… They can also be a tourist attraction. If he has not seen them, we have them in plenty. But if you look around, you will see more than just the rats and the rabbits. What I was going to say is that it will interest him to visit Lake Ol Bolosat, for example, where we have very many species of birds that are very unique not just in this country, but in the world. However, I have not seen any attention given to that lake by the Ministry of Tourism. We supported the fencing of the Aberdare Forest so as to ensure that elephants do not stray into the lands of people around Shamata and Pesi areas. Kenyans who reside within that area supported the initiative and have continued to be very useful. However, I have not seen what we are benefiting as the people of that area in terms of tourism. We have the rare bongo in the Aberdares around the Shamata area and if the Ministry would spend some money to ensure that there is breeding and its population is increased, then again as Kenyans, we would benefit from tourism. I believe this policy paper addresses such issues so that when we talk about tourism, it is not just the hotels along the coast or the beaches that we are looking at, but there are also tourist attractions that exist far and wide and in places where we come from. I thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
