• 10 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity. I want to indicate that I am a Member of the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources, which undertook the inquiry into the death of the 11 rhinos. Just for the record, black rhino is one of the rare species in the animal kingdom. It attracts a lot of tourists. That is why before the botched translocation, it received wide publication, which was presided over by the Cabinet Secretary for Tourism and Wildlife.

The other recommendation was that the Kenya Wildlife Service should review their policies especially on employment and positioning of officers. Each officer employed should be positioned in their area of specification. The last recommendation was for the KWS to take ... view
