    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for your protection. My sister and I were in another Committee where we were dealing with electricity issues. I am happy that we are discussing wildlife conservation. I am a little bit apprehensive even as I support this Statement. Some of our actions, including hunting, are the ones that are leading to the decline of lions in this country. In the Maasai Community, we are killing ourselves by selling all our land. Our land used to be open and everyone would graze on them. The moment we sell our land, particularly in the Masaai Mara region and buyers erect electric fence, we expose our wildlife to danger. It is a pity that when a lion roams around hunting for food, it is killed and we keep on complaining. How can we continue complaining and yet are not protecting our wildlife? It is time we pointed the finger to the real culprits who are killing our wildlife because KWS is doing its job. Why should we make it difficult for them to do their job? In Narok County, for example, the government has allocated of 19 per cent of revenue to support the local community to deal with wildlife. After selling our land and erecting electric fences, we deprived wildlife of food and water. Therefore, when a lion is hunting, it sees cows and attacks them for food. It is killed by the local community. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
