    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I appreciate you had given me time in order for the answer to be brought here. I beg to reply. The Ramsar Convention on Wetlands is an Inter-Governmental Treaty that provides the framework for national action and international cooperation for the conservation and wise use of wetlands and their resources. Just for information, the Convention was adopted on 2nd February, 1971 in the Iranian City of Ramsar. However, Kenya ratified the Ramsar Convention in 1990 and since then, five sites have been designated as Ramsar Sites or wetlands of international importance. These sites are as follows:- 1. Lake Nakuru which was designated on 5th June, 1990 with an area of 18,800 hectares; 2. Lake Naivasha which was designated on 10th April, 1995 and it covers an area of 30,000 hectares; 3. Lake Bogoria which was designated on 27th August, 2001 and it covers 10,700 hectares; 4. Lake Baringo which was designated on 10th January, 2002 and it covers an area of 31,469 hectares; and, 5. Lake Elementaita which was designated on 5th September, 2005 and it covers an area of 10,880 hectares."
