    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support this Motion. The policies that we had sometimes back are now outdated. For us to conserve our wild animals and for tourism to give us good revenue in this country, we need to see how we can co-exist as people with the wild animals so that we can benefit from them. There is an issue I want to raise which has become a burden to this country. This is the issue of compensation. Whenever wild animals kill a person or destroy property, it takes many years before the compensation is done. We want this policy that we are now trying to pass in this House to be implemented so that those people who have suffered for a long time because of wild animals are compensated. Another thing that I want to bring out clearly on this issue is about the policies that we make in this House, but we do not implement them. Kenya is known as a country that has made progress in good policies on written paper, but we do not implement them. So, we plead with the Committee that what we have discussed here and the policy that we have enacted here should be implemented so that people can test them at the grassroots. It is good for us to have ministers in this House so that we can ask them questions directly rather than waiting for the CS to come after one month when people have already suffered. I support the Motion. Thank you."
