    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would like also to thank the proposal that the compensation should be immediate instead of the one year that we proposed in that amendment. Although it is clear that it might take time, Sen. Olekina, to do the budgeting and put enough money in place since our budgets are done yearly. It might take a bit of some time to put adequate funds for the compensation. However, if we know the approximate amount of claims each year that we get from the people who live around the conservation areas, still we can approximate to see how much is required for the compensation. Thank you, Sen. (Dr.) Ochillo-Ayacko, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., and Sen. Wetangula for the discussions and the input that has gone into enriching this Bill. The most one that I have picked is that we should have people going to court to seek orders so that payments can be done in good time. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I might not be able to mention all those who contributed to this Bill. However, I will sit down and look at all the propositions that have been put forward when we were discussing this Bill. We shall have our next stage. I know we will enrich this Bill particularly the areas of right to go to court and activating the insurance scheme that has been discussed very loudly by Sen. Wetangula and Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. I know the County Wildlife Compensation Committees (CWCCs) are not functioning very well. It has been observed sometimes they do not have sitting allowances to sit and determine how much our people are supposed to get in compensation. We need to see how we can rectify that when we go to the next stage. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, with these few remarks, I would like to request that pursuant to Standing Order No. 61 (3) that we defer the putting of the question to a later date given that we do not have quorum."
