    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, parts of northern Kenya and specifically Dida Galgallo Desert, Ol Donyo Sabache and Lake Turkana areas are recognized as important bird areas attracting tourists who practice bird hunting as a sport/vocation. Under the Wildlife Conservation and Management Act, Cap.376, game bird hunting is permitted only within gazetted seasons. The Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) has various designated bird shooting blocks in Kenya. As for northern Kenya, there are five bird shooting blocks in the greater Marsabit District within the areas I have just mentioned. A total of 2,427 game birds were shot as sport from 2006 to 2008 in the bird blocks of northern Kenya. (b) The KWS has a record of all the licensed bird shooters. They are licensed to shoot game birds after passing a bird test exam conducted by the KWS. After passing the test, the license holders are normally given conditions which they are supposed to adhere to every time. Shooting parties are required to report at the designated KWS control post to familiarize themselves with any special conditions imposed by the warden and sign a register detailing names of the parties, game license held, block booking vouchers and the number of days booked. On leaving the block after shooting, the shooting parties are supposed to sign out and give the following information:- (i) The date of departure and the number of birds by species shot by each license holder."
