    "content": "Please, ask him to go back to his Chair because he is a problem. On the same note, when you look at the issue of pollution, when you go to some parks, some of the hotels and lodges discharge effluent and waste into the rivers and the environment. They will be made accountable for the pollution of wildlife habitat and the ecosystem. That means that hotels and lodges will be accountable for any pollution and, therefore, we will have a cleaner environment and ecosystem for our wildlife to thrieve. That is what the Bill has provided. I am also happy because coming from a community that grazes and lives with wildlife, we can now recognise that grazing withing the park can only be done with authority. In other words, you cannot graze animals in a park without permission. It means that when there is drought and calamities, we will not allow our people and livestock to die because there is no grass where they live. They should be allowed to graze with the wildlife because without these people, even the animals will not be there. Right now, if you look at some of the conservancies, you will find that most of the animals are not in the park. They are where human beings live simply because they co- exist with human beings. This is a phenomena a lot of people do not understand, that wildlife thrives because of the communities. On the issue of compensation and indeed, destruction of property, when you look at the Third Schedule, baboons are not included. Baboons are very destructive and they should be included in this list of compensation. I support the Bill."
