    "content": "Everybody knows that Maasai Mara is home to the eighth wonder of the world. It, therefore, supports all the hotels in Nairobi and creates employment for many Kenyans all over the country. It is, therefore, wrong for somebody to believe that it only affects the Maasais. It affects the whole world, including the River Nile. It is not possible for the Mara issue to wait for this Motion to be adopted. My appeal to the Government is to get people out of the Maasai Mau if they want Maasai Mara to survive. Please, kick them out! You cannot tell a trespasser that they have done right because they belong to your community. This is not a Maasai issue only. Actually, Bomet and Kericho counties, where these people came from, are really facing hardship. Their tea and livestock are not as productive as before. Everything has been affected. I appeal to the Government of Kenya to get people out of the Mau as soon as possible. This cannot wait for the Sessional Paper to be adopted. There is money for it. We bring tourists to this country more than any other country in this region does. We grow wheat and maize to feed this nation. We also feed this nation with beef, but they are destroying our economy. They are destroying the livelihood of the Maasai people. This is a nice policy, but the Maasai Mara Basin cannot wait for it to be adopted. I support it and appeal that this should be implemented now. I believe the leaders of Narok who are here, like my brother Sankok, know what has happened to the Ngare River. It is not there anymore. Nothing is there! In fact, Narok is a case study of environmental impact or climate change. We have not only seen floods, but even Magadi Soda, a big economic mainstay of this country, has been destroyed and yet Maasai leaders from Narok keep saying that they are talking on behalf of the Maasai. The Maasai Mara does not belong to the Maasais. It belongs to the whole country."
