    "content": "tanzanite are and other stones that are found at a place called Kishushe. These are beautiful blue stones. However, they are the poorest. The labour laws are the worst. They work under strenuous circumstances. Therefore, this Bill must also take care of the labour; the people who are exploiting for us. The people in Kakamega, who are doing all sort of things, and Western Kenya looking for gold, are not taken care of. This Bill must accommodate them. However, for purposes of the future of this country, the things that we must do to help this country are those that help the mwananchi. I was in Tanzania and I wondered why Serengeti National Park is doing better than Maasai Game Reserve. Do you want to know the reason? It is because 60 per cent of the revenue from the Serengeti National Park, Kirawira Serena Camp and Ngorongoro Crater goes to the people of Tanzania. This is because the Maasai who live there take care of the parks. They have been allowed to graze outside the park but you cannot step into Serengeti National Park, because the Maasais’ are taking care of it. This is because they know that if there is poaching, they lose income. Therefore, there are no fences. We are spending so much money in this country. We need Kshs156 million in Makueni to stop elephants from getting into Kibwezi and eating all our food. In Tanzania, they do not do that. The Maasais take care of it. However, out of the 85 per cent, and I challenged CS, Najib Balala when he said that five per cent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is contributed by our parks. I asked him, what he gives to the Maasais in Maasai Mara and Narok,, out of that five percent and what they give to the people of Makueni and Taita Taveta, where Tsavo National Park occupies. We do not take any pride in having the largest national park next to us. It does not bother us."
