    "content": "responsible. Part of the reason some of these private conservancies can be this reckless is because they see how Government treats wildlife. You remember the experiment that went wrong. When he is invited here, one of the things he needs to do is shed light on what was the eventual finding. He promised Kenyans that out of the incident where we lost 10 rhinos, he will furnish the country with a report explaining what went wrong, since that is within the same theme of protection of our wildlife. He should come with that report, so that the country can understand who was reckless. If people are found complicit of the act, then they need to face consequences. This is under animal protection laws. However, it is only that as a country we are not keen to follow some of the laws that we pass in this House. The line manager, supervisor or the person in charge should have seen the danger that was lurking. I am sure somebody for the last two months observed as the wires continued to hang lose and was negligent about their duties. They need to be brought to book so that people know that the right to life does not end with human life. Even animal life needs to be protected. I believe that the Committee you will task with the responsibility will do a good job and give this country a final finding that will ensure the private conservancies do not just mint money out of our wildlife and fail to give proper returns in ensuring they take good care. If it was in other countries where they are keen on protection of wildlife, the license of this conservancy would have already been suspended. They would have been told to return the license until such a time they can satisfy that they are capable of taking care of the animals. Many questions need to be responded to in this particular Statement. I hope the Committee will do a thorough job to protect our wildlife."
