    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I beg to support this Petition and request the Committee that will deal with this Petition to find the best ways of funding these conservancies. Right now, it is the well-wishers and donors who fund conservancies. This makes it difficult for the locals to participate. So, I would like to see that the conservancies are used to improve the lives of the people living around them. They should be centers through which the local people can begin to understand the value of wildlife and the environment, so that they can conserve them. It is also a way of devolving and making sure that monies trickle down to the people. The only caution I want to give, as the Committee will be looking at this matter, is that sometimes the appointment of the management of these conservancies needs to be looked at. It should not be politicised, but based on merit, so that the people who are appointed are the actual conservationists. If we get the right people to run our conservancies, it will be a good way of bringing communities together and raising awareness, especially in areas where we have wildlife. I support and request the Committee to expedite this. West Pokot County is part of the area where there are conservancies and we are beginning to care about wildlife and catching up with the rest of the counties which have conservancies."
