    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to join my colleagues in seeking certain clarifications. For example, I think whenever we have talked about wildlife; it has always been the case that money does not follow the action. It is so said. I wish to ask the Chairman to clarify, for instance, how many drones we are using in Kenya at the moment and whether it is true that there was an offer for drones from the American Government which the Kenyan Government has never taken up for use in protection of animals? Secondly, we have been talking about the issue of human-wildlife conflict. If you visited some of the areas that this is occurring, for example, Kieni Constituency in Nyeri County, you will see the elephant corridor we have been talking about for a long time. This is meant to protect people as well as the wildlife. I wish to ask the Chairman to clarify whether there has been any thinking regarding the elephant corridor in Kieni from Mount Kenya to Aberdares and how much money has been put aside to pay the people within the corridor so that elephants can get access from one mountain to another? My third clarification is; even if we try to protect wildlife and the demand for ivory in China continues to be as it is, what action will we take as Kenyans viz-a-viz our discussions with the Chinese Government to ensure that they do not allow ivory in their own country? In the recent World Economic Forum of the Chinese and Americans, the issue of poaching came up. What is the involvement of the Kenyan Government in those discussions? More so, we must provide sufficient funds to do the work that we want to do"
