    "content": "Before I conclude, I would like to say the following: We have a big problem. This House has been seized with the issue of human-wildlife conflict for a long time. We have received very many petitions, request for statements and questions on issues to do with human-wildlife conflict. Currently, the approved compensation amounts to more than Kshs6 billion. But in the last financial year, what was provided for was roughly Kshs600 million. In the current Financial Year, what is provided for in the Budget is less than Kshs500 million. So, we can see the deficit. When we were doing the Budget and bearing in mind that we started with the budget-making process, we pleaded with the Budget and Appropriations Committee to increase the compensation by Kshs1 billion but, unfortunately, we did not manage. It is a bit frustrating bearing in mind that, as Members, we are so much affected because our constituents are affected by human-wildlife conflict. At the same time, we are not able to provide an adequate budget for compensation. I beg to submit."
