    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. First, I want to thank the Chairperson for the answer he gave. But I must say from the outset that the answer given does not give any hope to the animals existing in the parks at the moment. The Chairperson gave us a report and mentioned that it is only up to 25th of June. But it is understood and we are clear that from the 25th of June up to date, which is only a period of two weeks, we have since lost close to 10 rhinos within that time. I do not know whether the Chairperson was being strategic to end the report on the 25th of June, because the death of the rhinos happened on the night of the 26th June. So, it is important and incumbent upon the Chairperson to let the House know. Secondly, what is the role of the security agents on this issue? We know that Ol Jogoi is a private sanctuary, and this is the sanctuary which is well guarded with a lot of security for animals; but this is the same place where some massacre of rhinos happened. Will the Chairperson inform the House whether the security agents who are charged with the responsibility of taking care of these animals are actually involved in the poaching of these animals? Thirdly, Madam Temporary Speaker, we are aware that the Kenyan ivory and rhino horns usually get arrested in the ports of Singapore or Philippines when they have actually gone through the Port of Mombasa. Could the Chairperson tell us whether the training he says is being given to the officers is adequate enough to help them detect the The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
