Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman I would not have liked to oppose anything brought by hon. Waiganjo. However, if I was to take him to Samburu today, there are large communities there that depend on culling of animals because it is very necessary to do that. The main reason is the carrying capacity of the land. In Samburu, there are so many Zebras and if you do not do culling there will be some natural catastrophes that will kill the wildlife and our livestock.

So, if you are getting into a national park by mistake, you pay Kshs100 and you are given back your cow. Otherwise, the rangers will abuse this provision very much. They will tell you that you will go to prison for six months unless you give them Kshs100,000 and you only had one cow in the park. It is not specific.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, this is a very important amendment, particularly for the Samburu Community that live in that part of Laikipia. We know what is behind this. Somebody wants to create a buffer zone between somebody’s farm. Laikipia is occupied by many settlers and they want to create a buffer zone between themselves and the black people who live there. We do not want to do that. We want to make sure that the people who have lived there for many years live there. They have schools and dispensaries and to evict them to create a national park ...
