    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, with due respect to my brother hon. Ottichilo, let us all agree that we have had a problem in classification of these resources. There has been no justification why Maasai Mara would be a game reserve and Tsavo East and Tsavo West, which occupy two thirds of Taita should be a national park. Amboseli is also a national park. Therefore, communities that are harbouring these national parks are totally disadvantaged. The animals are the same. A child in Narok is going to school on funds generated by elephants, the same elephants migrate to Tsavo and a child in Taita cannot get the benefits of those elephants. Therefore, why are we keeping them? Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, it is my humble submission that communities which are having national parks should either be compensated or classify all national parks as game reserves. Therefore, while I have a lot of respect for hon. Ottichilo as a scientist, we have to find a way of compensating communities which are harbouring these resources."
