    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I think the air of harassment is very high. I want to thank the Member for Mogotio because this issue of elephants is quite widespread. As you can allude, both our constituencies border parks. I think this is something which resonates with community members on how to deal with human-wildlife conflict. As such, I think there is a greater issue which needs to be explored as to why this migration is taking place. Maybe there is inadequacy in terms of food and water within those parks and a proactive measure must be put in place. I believe we have a petition before the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources. According to the information I have, they will meet next week. I look forward to us ventilating together and looking at issues to do with compensation and how we can enhance our coexistence with wildlife knowing that tourism brings a very huge return to the country in terms of foreign exchange. I think these are able efforts. We are protecting the common will of the country against the individual rights which are enshrined in the Chapter Four of the Constitution on the Bill of Rights. This is access and opportunity for all our people to earn a livelihood and in a seamless fashion, so that, indeed, we can continue growing as a nation to greater status. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
