    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I would like to request the Chairperson to clarify the following. One, what technology has the KWS embraced to prevent and curb poaching, especially in the identified areas like Tsavo East and West National Parks? Two, what criteria is the KWS allowing commercial grazers to access national parks with their animals, thereby becoming difficult for them to identify the poachers and the commercial grazers? How much are they paid? Is it a strategy by the KWS to actually earn revenue through commercial grazing in national parks? Thirdly, Madam Temporary Speaker, who is in charge at the KWS? We know that the term of the board of directors has expired. We do not have a substantive chief executive officer and, therefore, who is making these decisions at the KWS? Finally, from January to June in Tsavo alone, we have lost 88 elephants; most of them are killed and are never reported by the KWS. But I am quoting figures from the Taita Taveta Association of Ranches and the county government. We have lost 88 elephants from January to June in Tsavo. What is happening in Tsavo is that there is no tourism going on. We are losing our national heritage as the Taita Taveta County."
