    "content": " Hon. Temporary Speaker, I thank you very much for your indulgence. The Bill that has just passed is extremely important. I am aware that the Committee has been seeking to amend the same Act, though I know this will take time because after being assented to, it needs to take about six months. The issue of snake bites is a big issue that must be discussed now by this House. We have cases of snake bites all over the country, starting with Baringo, Marsabit and Mandera. Kitui has the most poisonous snakes. We realised that when this amendment was being done, snake bites seemed to have been left out. I remember it was also removed in the 12th Parliament. I request the Chairman of this Committee, that after the passage of six months, we will bring an amendment so that we also consider snake bites, because they are killing too many people. The Ministry was in my constituency about three weeks ago and the issue of snake bites was raised by my constituents and so many people are calling for inclusion of snake bites as part of the compensation we are discussing today. Thank you very much for your indulgence. I support."
