    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this important Statement. We can all see that Sen. Sakaja did research about the rate at which the lions are decreasing in number. That is worrying. It is important that the Committee that will address this particular issue will have to deal with the current statistics first, so that we know how many lions exist. It is also important to know the real threat to these animals beyond the imagined. We should know the real threat to these animals, so that the problem is addressed scientifically. It will also be important to establish their current relationship with human beings. I was lucky to visit Taita-Taveta County, and we discovered that the greatest threat to the lions by then were human beings because human conflict is not addressed effectively. It is always to the disadvantage of the human beings and their properties. In Samburu, there is a healthy relationship between wildlife and human beings. Therefore comparatively, the Committee that will address this one should travel widely, so that they establish various strategies used by various communities closer to the animals to conserve them. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is an important Statement, knowing very well that conserving those particular animals will earn our country a lot of income in terms of foreign exchange. Therefore, it is important that we address this matter urgently. I thank you."
