    "content": "ESTABLISHMENT AND CONSERVATION OF WILDLIFE CORRIDORS IN KISUMU COUNTY Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order 53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Land, Environment and Natural Resources regarding the establishment and conservation of wildlife corridors with a specific focus on Kisumu county. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the rapid urbanization and agricultural expansion have increasingly encroached upon key ecological zones threatening species such as hippos, impalas and over 115 bird species found in the Kisumu Impala Sanctuary. Additionally, human wildlife conflicts particularly around Lake Victoria cause risks to both local communities and wildlife populations given that Kenya’s tourisms sector contributes approximately to 10 percent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and provides over 1.8 million jobs. Safeguarding these corridors is crucial for maintaining ecological balance and sustaining economic benefits In the Statement, the Committee should address the following- (1) Existing and proposed wildlife corridors in Kisumu County, their significance in conservation and biodiversity protection and the role in Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
