    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion:- THAT, aware that tourism in Kenya, which is largely wildlife-based, generates approximately 12 per cent of the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and creates over 18 per cent of wage employment; further aware that poaching has brazenly continued to target Kenya’s wildlife and that elephants and rhinoceros are key flagship species facing threats of extinction; deeply concerned that Kenya has become a major hub for smuggling and exporting illegal ivory, rhino horn and other illicit wildlife products from the region to other regions particularly the Far East countries; noting that although the Government has employed various measures to protect wildlife, these measures have not borne much fruit in combating the poaching menace in this country; cognizant of the need to protect this important resource for future generations, this House resolves that the Government declares poaching menace a national disaster and institutes long-term measures to mitigate the vice."
