    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me also touch on conservation, particularly in the Ministry of Forestry and Wildlife, where I serve. I realize that the amount that has been allocated to that particular area of conservation is almost equal to the same amount that was allocated in the last financial year. That allocation, Mr. Minister, is actually inadequate. Given that our tourism relies on wildlife; and that, all the other sectors of the economy like agriculture, water and energy rely on the conservation of our forests, I do not see us, with only Kshs1.8 billion, being able to conserve all our water tables to a level that we can adequately say it can support all the other sectors. So, I will ask the Minister to look into ways of enhancing that amount so that, at least, what had been requested by the forest sector to operationalize the Forest Act – an amount of Kshs4.5 billion or, at least, even 60 per cent of that amount – can be made available. But so far now, it is less than 45 per cent that has been made available."
