    "content": "I am aware that there is a wildlife Bill pending somewhere and I would urge that we speed it up so that it becomes law. All the problems that we are seeing in wildlife and the tourism sector are addressed in that Bill. It will be the answer to all the problems that we have today. Poaching is dynamic; there is an offender and there is a person who benefits from it. Like most hon. Members have said, the person who is poaching is probably not the one who is benefiting from it, but he is driven by his needs. You cannot stay with wildlife, not see its benefit and still protect it when it is harmful to your crops or animals. So, there is need to look into ways of involving the communities in the management of wildlife. The problem that I see today is the creation of the KWS structure. Many people have spoken about it. The little I know about the KWS structure is that it is totally wrong. They are doing things that they are not supposed to do. If they are given back the mandate to protect wildlife, then they would have more time to look into the national parks and protect the wildlife, first against poachers and, secondly,"
