    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I trust my words that, that is very correct. Maybe the hon. Member was not in the Presidential campaign team of the ODM. That is a fact. There was that pledge that all constituencies would become districts. I was talking about the livestock sector. Every time a sector goes down, the Government chips in to revive it. It writes off loans, for example, in the coffee and tea sectors, to boost the sectors. However, in the livestock sector, there has never been a policy to restock or to boost that sector. I heard the ODM candidates talking about a livestock insurance scheme. Now that the ODM is in the Government, the proposal should be brought forth, so that we can see whether we can assist the livestock sector. Every hon. Member has talked about the importance of the wildlife and tourism sector. I am happy the Kenya Wildlife Service has implemented the pledge by the Government in the Ninth Parliament by increasing the compensation fee from Kshs30,000 to Kshs200,000. However, there was a Bill in the Ninth Parliament, and I know it will be brought before this Parliament, to increase that compensation fee to Kshs1 million for anyone killed by wildlife. Now that the Tourism and Wildlife Bill is one of the Bills which have been prioritised in the Presidential Speech, I feel that the issue has been captured or addressed. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as leaders of this country, we should now nurture and develop the culture of trust. One wise man said that every time we open our mouths, people read our minds. If we really nurture the culture of trust, we will implement all these things that we are talking about. We will have the best governance structure than we have ever had. I would like to urge all of us to trust each other and not to read each others' mind. Let us trust each other and learn to learn from each other. Another wise man said that there are times we let things happen and there are times we make things happen. This Tenth Parliament must make things happen. We must ensure that there is peace and stability in our country. We must ensure that we give Kenyans the best laws that they are yearning for. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
