human-wildlife conflict. We even have a petition that I was supposed to table a report on, but the originator, Hon. Soipan, is not around. The bigger challenge that we have is the human-wildlife conflict, which also arises out of fire outbreaks in the parks. I would like to urge this House that when the Committee comes up with a proposal to enhance the budget of the State Department for Wildlife, specifically for KWS, to support the proposal, so that KWS can acquire firefighting equipment to be stationed in various parks in our country. In doing so, the level of preparedness ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. On the issue of distribution of dams, the Committee noted that the distribution of the dams across the country does not reflect equity and hence, we want to take it up to ensure that the dams reflect the face of the country.

Therefore, I call upon the national Government, once it initiates the construction of dams, the same dams should be supported by adequate financing. In this regard, I have in mind the Koru-Soin Dam, which is currently under ...
