I do not know why the hon. Member did not listen to my Statement because I stated very clearly the sums which have been donated by various donors. However, for the hon. Member’s information, I said that the USAID had provided Kshs18 million for survey and demarcation of forest boundaries in Trans-Mara and South West Mau. The European Union (EU) had approved Euros2.3 million and the USAID is also implementing a US$7 million project which is known as pro-Mara in support of rehabilitation of the upper catchment of the Mara River. The Spanish Government is financing a Euro 1 million project to support the implementation of the management plan of the Maasai Mara Trustland Forest. The Government has submitted a proposal to the French Development Agency for funding and they have not yet responded. The Government has also set aside Kshs2 billion for the development of a carbon-financing framework and high impact carbon project that will benefit the Mau. I mentioned a number of organizations and the details are available in the rest of my Statement."}
