    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to move an amendment on the Wildlife Management Act No.47 of 2013. Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to move that the Wildlife Management Act (Amendment) Bill of 2020 be read a Second Time. This amendment Bill seeks to amend the Wildlife Management Act No.47 of 2013. This Act, when enacted, will be referred to or cited as; The Wildlife Conservation and Management Act of 2020. Madam Temporary Speaker, it is quite a brief Bill in that, it seeks to amend few sections of the 2013 Act. I should say that this amendment Bill was a culmination debate of a Motion that I brought here, Members discussed and we decided that instead of having that Motion end there, we put an amendment Bill. Madam Temporary Speaker, I come from a conservation area; Tsavo East and Tsavo West. There are several challenges that come as a result of living within the conservation area. If we amend this Bill, some of the issues that emanate from the challenges that bedevil the people living around the conservation areas would be resolved. The first amendment, Section 2 of this Amendment Bill, seeks to insert Section 21 (a), which previously was not in the Wildlife Conservation and Management Act No.47 of 2013. Section 21 (1) (a) will read- “The Cabinet Secretary (CS) shall, as the case may be and in each financial year, provide adequate funds for the management of the affairs of each Community Wildlife Conservation Committee.”"
