    "content": "By the same token, we appreciate that wildlife or tourism is a foreign exchange earner, it brings income to our country. Unfortunately, even those people bordering national reserves or game parks rarely get to benefit from the returns which are earned through tourism. That is why there is resentment; that is why there is that feeling by the locals that they better kill the wildlife because they do not earn anything from it. I would like to urge the KWS, when they are doing their budget, let them spare some funds to do some community work within those areas so that people feel that they belong there. They can put up a classroom within that area. That way, people can say that a classroom was put up because an elephant was seen by a tourist and he paid money. If that is done, these people can protect these animals. If this issue of compensation is looked into, I believe people will own those animals and they will also respect them. If there is any problem, they will solve it amicably. At the moment, they do not see any value for the animals and that is why they go round killing them. So, I really support this Motion and because there is a Bill coming on this particular one, I would propose a compensation of Kshs10 million and not Kshs1 million."
