    "content": "You are forgiven and, therefore, sit down. Hon. Members, let us proceed! The Question is in regard to the MOU between the Government of the Republic of Kenya and the Government of the Kingdom of Thailand signed on 9th November 2005, to inter alia give the Kingdom of Thailand assorted wildlife animals from Kenya for custody in Thai zoos. It also touches on an application for judicial review for orders of prohibition and challenges the powers of the Minister to commit or give Kenya's natural resources and heritage to a foreign state. That the action is ultra vires his powers under the Constitution, the Wildlife Conservation and Management Act, and the Environment Management and Co-ordination Act, and that some of the animals to be exported fall under the convention on international trade in endangered species of wild fauna and flora et cetera . The orders of prohibition prohibiting the Government from gifting or translocation from Kenya the assorted animals and the order of certiorari which quashes the MOU were issued by the High Court on 9th January 2006. The matter is active meaning that the case is still pending for determination. The Question is, therefore, sub judice and the same should await the conclusion of the pending court case."
