    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Land and Natural Resources on wildlife crime, particularly the poaching of elephants and rhinos that has become rampant in Kenya and strengthening the ecosystem. The Statement should state the number of rhinos and elephants that have been killed so far. State and explain the measures that the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources has put in place to arrest wildlife poaching, in particular, the poaching of elephants and rhinos which has continued to skyrocket. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in my county, we had animals called the Sitatunga, and I think it was a mistake that it is not mentioned here. So, I would like to add that we want to know the number of Sitatungas still living. He should state and explain why the Ministry, in conjunction with the county governments, has not established the County Wildlife Conservation and Compensation Committees as provided for in the Wildlife Conservation and Management Act of 2013. He should also state when they are planning to establish the County Wildlife Conservation and Compensation Committee in all the 47 counties. He should also state why poaching has not been declared a national disaster. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
