    "content": "Mombasa Road are very high because the Government does not stock anti venom. It is done by private hospitals. I have a child who ended up losing a hand because she was poisoned. By the time she was taken to Kilome Nursing Home, it had turned yellow and they had to amputate because the Government has no policy for buying antidote and antivenom. If the Government had a policy for buying antidote and antivenom, it would not be necessary to have snakebites as part of this because you can be treated. For now, we must leave it there. The statistics from Makueni and Taita Taveta counties show that out every five people, two die out of poisonous snake bites where in some cases snakes hide in their homes. There is the Tourism Levy Fund in addition to others. Sen. Mwaruma knows that all the lodges in Taita Taveta County which we visit charge 3 per cent of that Fund and transmit it to the national Government. Other than insurance policy, I suggest that we have a Fund set aside for money collected by the national Government from our parks. In the Tourism Levy Fund, the 3 per cent they collect from Salt Lake, Voi Lodge and others is transmitted to the national Government. In a report tabled by Sen. Kibiru, the Senate Committee on Finance and Budget suggested that these Funds should be collected by county governments. If the Cabinet Secretary, Hon. Balala and company, are tired, let them give parks to the county governments and see how we will manage them. I think we have the capacity to manage them. Similarly, it is also possible to ensure that people are paid in less than 12 months. This is because you cannot get into Maasai Mara Game Reserve without paying. So, why should you wait for 12 months if a rogue lion jumps out of the gates and injures somebody yet there is a tourist who has flown possibly from Australia just to come and see the beautiful lions that are in Maasai Mara?"
