Member for Githunguri to pay a visit to my office, so that we can sit down with the relevant officers from the KWS and relook at all the critical things and, if possible, pay a visit to the site and make sure that all the measures are put in place. As I have mentioned, we have a KWS office within his constituency.

The KWS has started bringing in materials in readiness to start the 3876 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES December 4, 2008 construction.

• 4 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member should agree with me that, indeed, the Ministry has done the best it can to reduce wildlife/human conflict. This year has been particularly a very challenging one. With drought having been reported in quite a number of places in the country, it affects, not only human beings, but also animals. So, the animals have moved out of their habitats. We have also had the perennial problem of land use. If we can solve the problem of land use, then we can clear from the wildlife corridors and human beings can cultivate their land peacefully. view
• 4 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it takes 90 days to do an environmental impact assessment and another 60 days to approve the process. If all that is done, we will proceed with the construction. view
