    "content": "I will only talk on a few parts of it but I feel a great step in the management of our wildlife has been taken. For example, Part IV, that is sections 24 and 25 have dealt with devolution. We see the Bill has introduced Wildlife County Committees with membership that has been detailed, which is going to be of great help. We know that with the new setup of Government and even having observed that wildlife is a national Government function, the county governments still feel that as the keepers they need to have a hand in it. There are proposals in the Bill where we are going to have Wildlife County Committees that are going to work on the wildlife user rights. They are going to work on management plans because there are elaborate management plans that have been proposed by this Bill. There is distribution of resources. They will bring stakeholders together whenever they want to make decisions relating to the management of wildlife at the county levels and they will also participate in land use planning. This is very important because wildlife conservation and management has been identified now as a land use. It is a form of land use and that is why there is a lot of emphasis on people and even encouraging people to start conservation areas."
