    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for allowing me to contribute to this Petition. From the outset, I support it. This is not the first time this Petition is coming before this House. We have had similar petitions in the past and have been lamenting and nothing is happening. I want to ask the Chairperson of the Public Petitions Committee to invite the Cabinet Secretary for Tourism, Wildlife and Heritage to appear before the Committee. He should also indulge Members from areas bordering national parks. In Endebess Constituency, there is Mt. Elgon National Park. My constituents in Kiptogot and Chorlim areas have suffered tremendous harm in the hands of KWS rangers who beat up women, children, and the elderly when they find them on the road. I do not know whether they are allergic to people or their way of training makes them not to consider human beings valuable or like themselves. This is an inhumane thing that we should put to an end. I am hoping the recommendations that will come to this House will cover all the areas with national parks or game reserves within their jurisdiction."
