    "content": "The other thing is the extent to which residents of counties where wildlife is are protected and how they engage in policy making and implementation regulation by KWS. Madam Temporary Speaker, I remember when we talked to KWS in the then Kisumu Rural Constituency, they agreed with us that because Ndere Island had been turned into a conservancy, they would be responsible for building roads that lead to the island. They also agreed that the community will be involved in doing those plans and in getting part of the revenue. First of all, the extent to which KWS went in to develop all those things was wanting in the end. So, the residents felt like going to court to stop what KWS was doing. This was regarded as hostility from the residents but they were only saying that since they do not get sufficient engagement from KWS, then they could only resort to the courts for arbitration. Madam Temporary Speaker, we now have a new Constitution which, to me, is very social and democratic. It sets out these issues very clearly. At the same time, this Constitution gives broad principles of governance but it does not write the laws under which those broad principles will be realized in actual fact. That is why we have the Committee on Delegated Legislation so that those broad principles are translated into law, brought before this House so that we can pass them. I am not giving all the responsibility to the Committee but the initiative should come from it. If they think that another committee should help in writing the law, so be it. That leadership must be taken by the Committee. Madam Temporary Speaker, finally with regard to Isiolo, I do hope that this is something that will be done expeditiously. I do hope that those names that Sen. Dullo mentioned today, the law enforcement agencies will take them seriously, the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) should investigate and do their work. The Government machinery should be set in Motion so that justice is done and is seen to be done in the county of Isiolo. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
