"content": "Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to second this Motion. As it has been said clearly by the Mover of the Motion, tourism contributes a lot to the economic development of this country. In 2013, this sector brought in Kshs96 billion to the Kenyan Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Therefore, it is very important for the people who are living near areas bordering wildlife to be looked after by the Government. The trend has been that in case of death the compensation by KWS has been Kshs200,000; it is even a problem for these people to get this money. A classical example is a very small area in my constituency, Oldoyorasha. From the year 2000 to last year, 12 persons lost their lives and the Government compensated each death at only Kshs200,000. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you cannot compare Kshs200,000 with the injuries they suffered. These people were each compensated Kshs50,000. I want to concur with Hon. Onesmus Njuki that most of these persons really do not care about"
