    "content": "This will ensure that it will not be as it is today, that an issue like this still remains unaddressed, 24 years down with different governments coming in and going out with all kinds of promises. However, the voiceless people down there must feel that they have somebody who can speak for them. I want to stand up and be counted, like the Senators here that, yes, we can be the voice of our people. That is why today I am proud to support this Motion and say that we must, as a House, ensure that we bring this to a logical conclusion which is nothing less of compensation of these victims. Madam Temporary Speaker, the American Government does invest heavily in the Kenyan Economy. It invests in other things including budgetary support to the country. What we are looking at might not even be as much as what they do but this is the action will actually give the right signals, send the right kind of message that, yes indeed, they are our caring bigger brothers and therefore come to conclude this matter jointly. As I sit down, I would want to say, as we discuss this Motion, let us also ask ourselves a question: What happens to those victims who lose their lives, property or get maimed in the course of their duty, that includes the police service, military and the wildlife services? It is important that we come up with a policy to ensure that there is a structure that will address that without them being reduced to beggars. Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to support."
