    "content": "Mr. Chairman, Sir, I beg to move- THAT the Bill be amended by inserting the following new clause immediately after Clause 13. 13A. Where in the course of mediating a boundary dispute, a matter touching on: (a) displacement of persons; (b) compensation for loss suffered; or, (c) any such related matter arises, a mediation committee may make appropriate recommendations and refer the matter to a relevant body for redress. Mr. Chairman, Sir, again, I have been convinced by Sen. Mungatana on the need for this amendment because Clause 13 addresses the report of the mediation committee. It provides that the report shall be sent to the Senate, or where it proposes alteration of a boundary, to the Senate, the National Assembly and the President. What this Clause 13A opens up is that the report should not be limited to the Legislature and the Executive. The mediating committee will be allowed to refer their recommendations to other bodies like the National Land Commission (NLC), if there is compensation on issues of land and the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) if there is loss of life as a result of wildlife and human conflict across borders. I feel that this is a reasonable amendment that will not mutilate the intention of the Bill. I request Sen. Mungatana to second."
