    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to second the Bill. The addition of marine animals to the list of animals which should be considered for compensation in the case of death or injury is very important. It brings fairness and equity to Kenyans. With the promotion of the blue economy, many people living along the Coast use the sea for transportation and as a support for their livelihoods. I had an opportunity to visit Lamu for public hearings as a Member of the Departmental Committee on Tourism and Wildlife. We came face-to-face with those who have been injured and maimed by marine animals. It was sad to see people in their prime, who had been attacked by marine animals, but could not do anything about it. It was my opinion and that of other Members of the Committee that compensating them will give them an opportunity to get an alternative means of livelihood."
