    "content": "proper fiduciary responsibility on the side of accounting officers. These officers are tasked with the responsibility of ensuring that whatever amount of money they are given by the public is well spend. This is taxpayers’ money. It will not belong to the Rt. Hon. Former Prime Minister Raila Amollo Odinga when he is the 5th President. It is our money. However, he will be able to encourage that collective responsibility to ensure that people can always remember that they are their own brothers’ keepers. That is why when I stand here, I still insist that our cooperation among the countries of the East African Community must always be based on the peace and prosperity; the liberty and freedom of the citizens that are living in those countries. What is happening today in Tanzania; in Loliondo is going to affect Kenya more that it will affect the people of Tanzania. This is because the moment you allow people to poach or kill wild animals next to you and there is no fence, what stops those poachers or those hunters from chasing world animals into the Maasai Mara Game Reserve? I hope that the president of this Republic of Kenya will pay attention to the issue that we are raising. We are not just coming here and talking about it; we are fighting for the rights of the Maasai People, but we are seeing the consequences. If those Maasais who leave in Loliondo are not peaceful and if their land is not reserved for the themselves, then tomorrow they will stress our economy in Narok and Kajiado counties. Even those ones who will be given licenses to hunt in Tanzania even if they are saying that it is 15000 square kilometres, they will bleed through and come all the way to Kenya, especially Narok. There will be no more animals. We are here valuing wild animals than we value human beings. No tourist will come because there will be no more wild animals. They will all be killed just because of greed. Madam Temporary Speaker, you know this because you were once a legislator in the East African Parliament. In the spirit of the East African Community, we can allow diplomacy and sense to prevail and leave the land that belong to the Maasai to remain as such. President Kikwete left that land; the Late President Magufuli preserved that land and we hope that President Suluhu will leave that land for the Maasai. I support and I hope that my colleagues will not only make noise outside for political mileage, but they will come and reason to the public. I support."
