    "content": "interrogated. The KWS should be sanctioned for any human life lost because of wildlife. They need to be sanctioned so that they are careful, so that people do not die. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you can imagine 12 people died. Some of them were breadwinners for their families. You can imagine the number of children who will not go to school because their parent died in the incident. When it comes to compensation of the families, the KWS should take responsibility and ensure that they educate the school-going children up to the highest level they want. If they go to colleges or university, then KWS should take responsibility. We must act seriously so that the KWS also ensures that they protect human beings because it is a painful state of affairs that lives are being lost. When it comes to compensation, there are cases that have come on the Floor of this House where human beings were attacked by wildlife and some of them have become Persons with Disabilities (PWDs). I wonder whether the KWS has been compensating Kenyans who have become PWDs because of being attacked by wildlife. There is need to investigate this mater thoroughly. We should also find out why the police decided to kill the bystanders. Thorough investigation will enable us to know exactly what happened on the ground. We have to inform Kenyans of what happens. We have to assure Kenyans that we are here to protect all of them. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support this Statement and hope that the committee that is going to investigate this matter will do it to conclusion, so that justice is served to the families that have lost their loved ones. I thank you for the opportunity."
