    "content": "livelihoods of Kenyans are as important as any other priority given to the sector when budgeting is done. If the budgeting is done centrally, this is an important aspect of this sector. It cannot be that there are no funds to compensate those who have been killed by wild animals, injured, and those whose property has been destroyed. It must be a priority for that sector, because those are the people who have given out their land to be converted to national parks and conservancies, and they cannot be told that they are not important. I know people who have claims running to ten years back or so. I know of a case some time back of a young boy in my county who was killed by a leopard, and up to now, they have not been compensated. The only reason they are given is that the case is being taken all the way to the CS and there are no funds to compensate his family. This Bill tries to cure that by giving the CS the responsibility to make sure that adequate budgeting is done. When the claims come, he is given a timeframe of 12 months to pay. That way, we will have Kenyans appreciating the heritage that we have. We have to conserve it, but mitigation also has to be there when there is that conflict. Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I support."
