"content": "The Kenya Government should take care and be serious in protecting the lives of Kenyans. It should make sure that it fences the parks and increases the compensation. Sometimes the Government makes decisions without even involving the community. A national park like Ruma is not properly secured. This is the case and yet you will find the Government taking rhinos to that park. Rhinos are very dangerous animals. In fact, there is a main road in my constituency which passes through this park. You have to go through the park when travelling from Nyadenda to Nyabera. One location of my constituency – Ruma Location – is divided by the park. One sub-location is on one side, and the other sub-location on the other side. People have to walk through the park. That is the single most important road that we use in my constituency. The Government has sent their rhinos to that park but they have not secured the road to protect wananchi . So, my people now cannot move freely from one sub- location to the other. If you want to reach the other sub-location within your location, you have to go through two other locations. Given the location of the chief’s office, it is completely inconveniencing to my constituents. Where would you address your concerns if the Government is more concerned about the welfare of wildlife, and not human beings? Finally, the KWS must have strategic corporate social responsibility to the people who live with wild animals. We go through a lot of frustrations and stress as a result of the wild animals. Hon. Speaker, with those remarks, I beg to support with those concerns."
