    "content": "purposes of wildlife at Konza, they have made sure that the power lines are underground. A modern person would put the power lines underground and not overhead and then you have an opportunity of protecting the giraffes like these ones. In the construction of the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR), the most controversial project Kenya has ever done, the Chinese in their most ingenious ways created even migration corridors for elephants. In Laikipia, they have created an animal migration corridor for elephants. What Sen. Pareno is referring to is a problem we are having in Makueni and Kajiado counties. The wildlife in Taita/Taveta County and in Tsavo have come to visit, they are now touring the habitats of Makueni and Kajiado residents to see people, and in the process, they are killing people and destroying crops. It is my suggestion that while we are considering our species, wildlife in Kenya is contributing to nine per cent of our Gross Domestic Product (GDP). I had an opportunity to visit many parks in this Republic and for 10 years, I had never seen a cheetah feeding its cub, but I saw one in Maasai Mara in December. We must protect this wildlife. There are people coming to this country and spending millions of shillings and do not ordinarily spend to come and see our wildlife. It is gross negligence on the part of KWS and Kenya Power to have overhead wires when they know there are giraffes crossing. At Maanzoni where my father breathed his last, we have giraffes that come to rest and take water. The wires are so high up that they do not affect the giraffes. It is negligence, which can be attributed to the conservancy. We cannot lose wildlife based on negligence. For the benefit of Sen. Murkomen, it is cheap to keep lions if you know what you want to do. You spend less feeding a lion than buying a helicopter that flies at night."
