    "content": " Thank you for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to this important Petition. The Bura Constituency I represent is in Tana River County. We have the Kora National Park, which is approximately 1,788 square kilometres. The park was initially gazetted as a nature reserve in 1973. Later, in 1989, it was gazetted as a national park without proper consultation and involvement of the public. Currently, the residents of Asako, Roka and Boka are suffering in the hands of KWS. They are very much caring about wildlife, but not about people or residents of those locations. Recently, wild animals went into farms belonging to residents of Roka and Balambala, they destroyed crops and left nothing for the farmers. Whenever there is such a kind of destruction, we do not see KWS officers. I am informed that even the officer attached to the area is not facilitated. He does not have a bodaboda to help him reach the affected areas. But whenever a buffalo or a rhino is injured or something happens to it, they come in a chopper. As I said, this is not fair to the people. I support the Petitioner and sentiments by Mhe . Kanchory that Members who come from areas where these destructions happen over and over again, should come together and push this agenda."
