    "content": "required to be attained and maintained, so that we can say this was an accident or it was something which was deliberately done and therefore will attract sanctions. Secondly, I want to know that the Kenya Power staff go to the conservancy obviously that is a dangerous zone. Therefore, we require some security elements and carry them along. Were the power line people and the owners of the conservancy not able to have a site meeting to appreciate the height of some of these animals? Mr. Speaker, Sir, sometimes even the communities around there, in the event that they are charged by an animal, they may find their way in the sanctuary by climbing up the tree. Unknown to them, there is this wire line passing and they could also be electrocuted. We need to really appreciate this element of it because sometimes it gets very nasty for both losses of human and animal lives. Finally, there is one thing I really want to appreciate. I was involved in the negotiations on the Convention on Biological Diversity when I was the ambassador for United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). One of the elements of the Convention on Biological Diversity was that we must be able to keep our species in place because they are for posterity. Mr. Speaker, Sir, losing ten giraffes, I do not think we have protected our posterity. It is important that when the committee looks at it, they should look at it with a background of the Convention on Biological Diversity. What was stipulated in that convention that would help them do a better conservancy rather than this ad hoc way of handling a conservancy. Otherwise, I thank you, Sen. Khaniri for this Statement. The relevant committee should now look at those areas that I have mentioned out so that we can realign them with any provisions whether legal or regulations that may be put in place for any private conservancy to thrive in this county. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you."
