    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Motion and thank hon. Ganya for bringing it. Our elephants and other wildlife in general are a big national asset for us and a heritage for all humanity. So, while I support the Motion, I urge the Government to put necessary punitive measures in place, as well as measures to assist our communities to see the value of wildlife. They should get monetary returns from protecting the wildlife in our different areas. I also think we need to look at the KWS Act as well as our international partnerships to make sure that our relations with countries that benefit from this trade is--- The rest of the partners, like the UN, should work together to make sure that it is not only Kenya that bears the responsibility of protecting wildlife. It is an internal security issue, and also a global issue since we are trying to save the world’s heritage of wildlife. It is important for us to even decide how we refer to ivory poaching and elephant decimation; we need to point out that this is not a question of white gold. In many cultures in the Far East, ivory is considered to be white gold."
