    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am seeking to know from the Cabinet Secretary whether he is aware of an international cultural event dubbed Ura Cultural Festival in Tharaka-Nithi County. It is celebrated yearly between August and September, which attracts quite a number of people, including both local and international tourists. I remember one time your Ministry promised to give this facility, where the exercise is being conducted, a facelift. The place is dusty and neglected. It is a serious event that can attract both local and international foreigners. In the 2020/2021 event, your Ministry promised to give Kshs10 million to this facility to give it a facelift. Up to now, we have not seen anything being done to make sure this place is given the standard that it requires. Could you be in a position to tell people from Tharaka-Nithi and this House what the Ministry is doing to make sure that this important facility is given a facelift? In a rejoinder to that question, recently, the Meru National Park was fenced, but we are still experiencing a lot of influx from the local animals, which are causing a lot of conflict between the park and the locals. The same park is being used as a conduit for bandits. When animals are stolen from Tharaka-Nithi County, the same park is being used to transport them, yet it is a Government facility. People from Tharaka-Nithi County would want to know whether your Ministry is aware that Meru National Park is quite a number of times used as a conduit to transport stolen animals."
