    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, may I apologise most sincerely for not being available to answer this Question yesterday. This was due to reasons and circumstances beyond my control. However, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, I am aware that both lakes Nakuru and Elementaita are drying up due to climate change, degradation of the catchment area, land use change in the region and the existence of the Cabro Project in Lake Elementaita. (b) Both lakes have been declared as wetlands of international importance, otherwise called, Ramsar sites. Lake Nakuru, Kenya's first Ramsar Site, was listed in 1990 while Lake Elementaita, the fifth Ramsar Site, was designated last year. The Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) is also working with the local communities to sensitize and educate them on the importance of the two lakes to the country. (c) This financial year, the KWS has set aside Kshs36,424,920 for the management of the entire park and Kshs1,075,880 towards conservation and research on environmental issues."
