    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT pursuant to the provision of section 33(4) of the Constitution of Kenya Review Act, 2008, this House approves the draft Constitution submitted by the Committee of Experts and laid on the table of the House on Tuesday, 2nd March, 2010 subject to the deletion in Article 62 of the words “government game reserves, national parks, government animal sanctuaries, and specially protected areas” appearing in paragraph (g) of clause (62). Mr. Speaker, Sir, my proposed amendment is to delete that clause under the public land and place them under community land just the way it is. This is because if you read Article 62(g) alongside Article 175(b) on page 117 of the Draft Constitution, you will find it says:- “county governments shall have reliable sources of revenue to enable them to govern and deliver services effectively and;” Mr. Speaker, Sir, again, read the Fourth Schedule part (b) clause 7 on page 191. It says that the functions of the devolved Government, in this case, the functions and powers of the counties--- Article 7 says, trade licences (excluding regulation of professions). All these game parks and national reserves are placed under public lands which are managed by the Central Government through the National Land Commission. If we do not place them under the community land which is managed by the counties, then most of these proposed counties will not be viable. They will not generate the required revenue to be sustainable. I have a list of 33 parks, but because of time, I kindly request Mr. Bahari to second."
