    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to present a Petition on behalf of residents of Isiolo County, pursuant to Article 37 and 119 of the Constitution of Kenya and the Senate Standing Order Nos.220 and 223. This Petition is in respect of the important and urgent matter of the leasing of Buffalo Springs and Shaba Game reserves by the Isiolo County Government. Allow me to put it on record that this Petition is in respect to a matter which lies before the County Assembly of Isiolo. They made a decision that the lease of these two game reserves be stayed, but the executive has ignored. For the record, this matter is also before the Ethics and the Anti Corruption Commission (EACC). Since time immemorial, the game reserves are a permanent asset of the local community. It is the pride and natural heritage of the county and it contributed to 90 per cent of the local revenue during the defunct Isiolo County Council. It is, therefore, the backbone of the economy of Isiolo County. The matter of leasing of both Buffalo Springs and Shaba Game Reserves was brought to the attention of the Assembly for thorough scrutiny and ventilation by Hon. Hassan Guyo Shano through the request for statement early this year. However, the written response by the County Executive Committee (CEC) Member for Tourism was not satisfactory. It failed to convince Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) because The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
