Kivuti","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":55,"legal_name":"Lenny Maxwell Kivuti","slug":"lenny-kivuti"},"content":"Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have only one sentence remaining. In the past, hon. Senators have sought the fullness of answers being given. A few times we have been referred back to the Committees for giving inadequate answers. That is why I chose to give an adequate answer this time. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the last question was why poaching has not been declared a national disaster. Despite the recent reports on heightened cases of elephant and rhino poaching, the vice has not been declared a national disaster. This is because there have already been concerted efforts to contain the menace by enhancing security, including the combined patrols that I have outlined here before. At the moment, the rate of poaching, especially on elephants, has declined. Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is my answer."}
